“…Before intervention, BFR was lower in high MF males than in low MF males, while BW, BMI, CC, WC, HC, and SBP were higher in high MF females than in low MF females. Similarly to our findings, Kakaraparthi et al 39 reported a positive correlation between grip strength and BW and BMI in females aged 6 to 12. High MF levels may be associated with increased muscle mass and function among boys, potentially leading to a lower BFR.…”

This study aims to investigate the effect of initial muscular fitness (MF) on weight loss and metabolically healthy status in 282 obese children under diet- and exercise-based interventions. Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) definitions established in 2018 and MF standards based on the 2021 Chinese children grip strength grading were applied. The proportion of metabolically unhealthy obese (MUO) was higher in the high MF group than their low MF counterparts at baseline. After intervention, neither group transitioned from MUO to MHO due to high frequency of low HDL-C. High MF females showed a higher percentage of high SBP than low MF females before and after intervention. High MF males exhibited greater improvements in waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C than low MF males. The benefits of weight loss and blood lipid obtained by males are more evident than females under the same MF level. Thus, attention should be given to females during weight loss regardless of MF levels. We concluded that initial MF is not a primary factor influencing the transition from MUO to MHO status. Precision therapy should prioritize the management of blood pressure and avoid excessive reduction of HDL-C levels to sustain metabolic health.

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association of initial muscular fitness (MF) with weight loss and metabolic health status in 282 children and adolescents with obesity during 3 to 4 weeks of diet- and exercise-based interventions. Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) definitions established in 2023 and MF standards based on the 2021 Chinese children’s grip strength grading were applied. The proportion of metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO) was higher in the high MF group than in their low MF counterparts at baseline. After the intervention, neither group transitioned from MUO to MHO due to the high frequency of low HDL-C. High MF females showed a higher percentage of high systolic blood pressure (SBP) than low MF females before and after intervention. High MF males exhibited greater improvements in waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, triglycerides, total cholesterol, and LDL-C than low MF males. The benefits of weight loss and blood lipids obtained by males are more evident than those obtained by females under the same MF level. Thus, attention should be paid to females during weight loss regardless of MF levels. Precision therapy should prioritize the management of blood pressure and avoid excessive reduction in HDL-C levels to sustain metabolic health.
