The activities carried out by rural workers are related to the use of physical force, and there may be discrepancies between tasks when considering gender. However, there are biological differences that can influence muscle strength between men and women. Thus, the objective is to describe and compare the sociodemographic and economic characteristics, handgrip strength (HGS), lean mass of the upper limbs and skeletal muscle mass in rural workers of both sexes. Cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study. The collections were carried out with rural workers in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The socioeconomic profile was obtained through a specific questionnaire. HGS was assessed in MSD and MSE using a manual dynamometer. The values of MME and lean mass of MSD and MSE were found by biompedanciometry. The sample consisted of 74 workers, 41 of whom were men. Educational level showed a difference between the groups (p= 0,014), as well as medication intake (p= 0,037), with the female group having a higher intake. The FPP difference of MSD and MSE was significant between the groups (p<0,001 and p<0,001, respectively), as well as lean mass of MSD and MSE (p<0,001 and p<0,001, respectively) and MME (p<0,001), with the male group showing better results. Therefore, men and women had different levels of education, and women took continuous medications more frequently. Even so, men presented higher values of FPP, MME and lean mass of MSD and MSE, however these results can be influenced by factors related to sex, covering physiological and biological characteristics.
