“…Based on this result, it may be hypothesized that a status of overweight/obesity in FMS women may lead to an increased loss of dynamic balance and muscle weakness that can cause falls. In this line, previous research conducted in the general population supports the relationship between dynamic balance and BMI [31,32,33,34]. Cancela-Carral found a significant correlation between dynamic balance and BMI in a population of older adults [31], and a recent study also reported that young obese subjects have worse balance compared to normal weight subjects [32].…”

Reduced functional capacity is a common characteristic of fibromyalgia (FMS). We aimed to investigate the relationship between functional status and body mass index (BMI) in a population with and without FMS. A pilot case–control study was performed in 34 women with FMS and 22 healthy controls which were classified according to their BMI. The main outcome measures were: Balance (MiniBestest, One Leg Stance Test), functional mobility (Timed up and Go), physical disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index), spinal range of motion (Spinal Mouse), level of physical activity at work (Leisure Time Physical Activity Instrument), and home and leisure time (Physical Activity at Home and Work). Statistical differences were observed between overweight/obese healthy controls and women with FMS for several indicators of functional capacity. FMS patients reported worse dynamic (p = 0.001) and static balance (right: p = 0.002, left: p = 0.001), poorer functional mobility (p = 0.008), and higher levels of physical disability (p = 0.001). Functional status is altered in FMS women compared to the healthy control group, independently of nutritional status; therefore, BMI is unlikely to play a main role in functional capacity indicators in postmenopausal FMS women. Only dynamic balance seems to reduce the obesity status in this population.

“…Minematsu, et al conducted a cross-sectional study of the relationship between BMI and physical function in 3549 community-dwelling elderly people in Japan over 65-yearsold. When BMI is low, grip strength, knee extension torque, and knee flexion torque are low [13]. Ferreira, et al conducted a cross-sectional study on the relationship between BMI and physical functioning in 316 community-dwelling elderly, and reported that when the BMI was low, the results of the chair standing test were low [14].…”

Objective: Low BMI is a poor prognostic factor. Previous studies have reported that daily body activity (ADL) ability is difficult to improve if the body mass index (BMI) at admission is low, but the relationship between BMI at discharge and ADL ability has not been clarified. Therefore, we aimed to clarify that ADL ability is low when BMI at discharge is low. Subjects and methods:A cross-sectional study of patients who were admitted to an integrated community care ward and underwent rehabilitation. Patient information was investigated from medical records. BMI: Less than 20 kg/m 2 was defined as a low BMI group, and more than that was defined as a non-low BMI group. The survey items were compared between groups and at the time of hospitalization. We also investigated the relationship between functional independence rating scale (FIM) gain and discharge BMI by multiple regression analysis. Results:The number of subjects was 200, 103 in the low BMI group, and 97 in the non-low BMI group. The low BMI group had a lower total FIM score and total FIM gain than non-low BMI, and BMI was low since admission (p < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that discharge BMI was independently positively related to total FIM gain (p < 0.05). Conclusion:It was suggested that BMI may be related to the improvement of ADL ability.

“…To reduce the potential for functional status limitations after surgery, adequate nutrition is important for recovery [ 98 ]. Body Mass Index (BMI) influences muscle strength, as well as physical function in older people [ 99 ] Malnutrition is common in older people and is reflective of poor performance status. Older people with higher BMI tend to have more functional status impairment [ 100 ].…”

Functional status assessment is a useful and essential component of the complete history and physical exam of the older patient diagnosed with cancer. Functional status is the ability to conduct activities that are necessary for independence and more executive activities, such as money management, cooking, and transportation. Assessment of functional status creates a portal into interpreting the health of in older persons. Understanding limitations and physical abilities can help in developing cancer treatment strategies, patient/family teaching needs, and in-home services that enhance patient/family care. This article will review the benefits of functional assessment, instruments that can be used during an ambulatory care visit, and interventions that can address potential limitations.
