“…There was a significant association between absolute VO 2 max (l × min -1 ) and FFM, SMM, LbM and bMr, even after adjustment for all confounders. Similar to these results in adults, several studies have reported that overweight children are categorized at a poor VO 2 max level compared to healthy weight children [40,41]. The association observed between maximal oxygen uptake and body composition measurements was in line with a recently published report by Goran et al in older adults [42].…”

Background. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CrF) was reported to be associated with anthropometric measurements, including body mass, body mass index (bMi), fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM). This study aimed to investigate the impact of FM and FFM on muscle strength and CrF. Material and methods. This study was carried out on 270 randomly selected adults in Tehran, iran. anthropometric measurements, including weight, bMi, FM and FFM, were assessed using a bio-impedance analyzer (bia) (inbody 720, biospace, Tokyo, Japan). Muscle strength and CrF were assessed by handgrip dynamometer and bruce graded treadmill protocol, respectively. The international Physical activity Questionnaire (iPaQ) was used to measure health-related physical activity. a p-value less than 0.05 was statistically significant. Results. Significant associations were found between maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) and muscle strength with FM and FFM (p < 0.001). after adjusting for confounders, the association of VO 2 max with FFM remained significant (p < 0.001). Muscle strength was significantly associated with FM (p = 0.036) and FFM (p < 0.001) after adjustment for confounders. Conclusions. high FM was associated with poor CrF, and low fat-free mass was related to poor muscle strength. FM and FFM can be good indices for CrF fitness in adults. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Aim. To assess physical activity (PA) and nutritional status and their relationship with the sarcopenic phenotype of body composition in women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Material and methods. 104 women (mean age 59.58.7 years) with RA underwent clinical and laboratory examination, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The level of PA and nutritional status were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaires, respectively. Results. Sarcopenic phenotype was diagnosed in 37.1% of patients. Moderate and low PA levels were detected in 44.2 and 7.8%, respectively, risk of malnutrition in 50% of persons. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, factors associated with the sarcopenic phenotype were determined: the frequency of vigorous PA3 times a week [odds ratio OR 5.12 (95% confidence interval CI 1.1522.94); p=0.032], walking 1 hour a day [OR 4.98 (95% CI 1.1421.74); p=0.033], risk of malnutrition by MNA [OR 4.13 (95% CI 1.1215.32); p=0.034], body mass index 25 kg/m2 [OR 8.11 (95% CI 1.8635.32); p=0.006] and daily calcium intake 500 mg [OR 4.62 (95% CI 1.0620.08); p=0.041]. Conclusion. 52% of women with RA had moderate оr low PA levels, and 50% of patients were at risk of malnutrition. The risk of sarcopenic phenotype associated with a low frequency of vigorous PA, low walking time, risk of malnutrition, body mass index 25 kg/m2 and insufficient calcium intake.

“…Current cross-sectional studies already indicate that both PA [ 34 – 38 ] and PF [ 39 , 40 ] are associated with BC in adulthood. Most of these studies measure BC using bioelectrical impedance analysis [ 37 , 38 ] or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry [ 34 , 35 , 39 , 40 ]. However, only a few studies use the fat mass index (FMI, as of fat mass (kg)/height2 (m)), and fat-free mass index (FFMI, as of fat-free mass (kg)/height2 (m)) to describe BC.…”

Background & aims Body composition (BC) changes with age and is associated with morbidity and mortality. A physically active lifestyle influences BC and represents an important predictor of successful aging. To emphasize this, the World Health Organization established activity recommendations for all age groups. We describe BC during adulthood using a cross-sectional sample from a German community and investigate the associations between physical activity (PA), physical fitness (PF), and BC. Methods Data from 329 men and women aged 35 to 86 years were analyzed. PA was measured by questionnaire and classified into sport activity and habitual activity. PF was measured through physical performance tests and BC by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) were calculated to represent height-adjusted BC. Associations between PA, PF, and BC were analyzed using linear regression models. Results For both sexes, strength was positively associated with FFMI (♂: ß = 0.313; ♀: ß = 0.213) and phase angle (♂: ß = 0.357; ♀: ß = 0.409). For FMI, a significant negative association with strength was found only in women (ß = -0.189). Cardiorespiratory fitness showed a negative association with FMI (ß = -0.312) and FFMI (ß = -0.201) for men, while in women a positive association was found for FFMI (ß = 0.186). For coordination, a significant association with FMI was observed only in women (ß = -0.190). Regarding PA only one significant relationship between sport activity and FMI among women (ß = -0.170) was found. Conclusions In our sample, PF was closer related to BC than PA. Strength and cardiorespiratory fitness were the strongest predictors for BC. This supports the World Health Organization’s activity recommendations to include both resistance and endurance training in the weekly sports program to maintain a healthy BC.
