“…33 In the current findings, whereas height was not associated with muscle mass, there was a significant difference between HGS groups in terms of their average height and weight. A recent study confirmed that the anthropometric measure of height had a high correlation with HGS, 34 and another study found that height and weight were correlated with HGS. 27 Although BMI had a significant correlation with HGS among Saudi adult men, in stepwise multiple linear regression, BMI was excluded and only hand length, forearm circumference, and age were selected.…”

Objective In this study, we aimed to examine the association between physical activity patterns and sarcopenia in Arab men. Methods This cross-sectional study included 363 men (47.7 ± 15.4 years). We analyzed appendicular lean mass (ALM), handgrip strength test, and physical activity levels. ALM divided by height (meters) squared was calculated (ALM/Ht 2 ), and participants with −1 and −2 standard deviations below the sex-specific mean for Saudi young adults were considered to have sarcopenia class I and class II, respectively. Independent t-tests, analysis of variance, and Mann–Whitney U tests were performed to determine mean and median differences. Results We observed a significant difference between participants with and without sarcopenia in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA); the correlation between ALM/H2 and MVPA was borderline significant. With a 1-hour/week increase in MVPA, ALM/Ht 2 increased by 0.30 kg/m2. Total and ALM, handgrip strength, and MVPA were significantly lower in participants age >60 years; fat mass and waist circumference were unchanged as compared with middle-aged participants. Conclusions We identified an association between time spent in recreational MVPA and lean muscle mass among Arab men. Future studies should examine the role of MVPA training programs on muscle mass and strength in older men.

“…Diversos estudios han encontrado que la fuerza de agarre en sujetos sanos se correlaciona positivamente con la estatura, incluso con el peso 24,25 . Hallazgos similares a los nuestros se evidencian en el estudio de Rodríguez García et al 26 , en el que se exploró la relación entre la FA y factores antropométricos en una población mexicana adulta, concluyendo que la talla es el factor con la más fuerte correlación para la FA. Una posible explicación a esta correlación positiva pudiera ser el resultado de varios factores; los adultos con las mayores tallas, tienen regularmente brazos más largos que la mayoría, en consecuencia poseen una mayor palanca en el brazo para generar fuerza lo que resulta en una eficiente cantidad de fuerza aplicada.…”

RESUMEN La relevancia que tiene la medición de la fuerza de agarre (FA) se ha incrementado en los últimos años como marcador del estado nutricional, por su relación con la morbilidad y mortalidad y por su creciente aplicación clínica y epidemiológica. Estudios de FA en adultos jóvenes sanos, revelan que se asocia positivamente con variables antropométricas y de composición corporal, mismas que se vincularían con la promoción de la salud en esta población. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la correlación entre la FA con variables de antropometría, composición corporal medida por bioimpedancia eléctrica y con la realización de ejercicio, para evaluar su utilidad como indicador del estado nutricional en jóvenes universitarias. Los resultados mostraron que en las estudiantes universitarias la FA se correlacionó positiva y significativamente con variables antropométricas (talla), y de composición corporal (masa muscular).

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients have alterations in body composition. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) evaluates body composition, hydration status, and fluid distribution. Subjects with fluid disturbances have been found to have lower FEV1, respiratory muscle strength, and poor prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the effect of hydration status and fluid distribution on pulmonary function in COPD patients. A cross-sectional study, 180 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COPD were included. Patients with asthma, advanced renal or liver disease, acute HF, exacerbation of COPD, or pacemakers were excluded. Hydration status variables (TBW, ECW, ICW) and disturbance of fluid distribution [impedance ratio (IR) > 0.84 and phase angle (PhA)] were evaluated by BIA. Pulmonary function was assessed by spirometry. The mean population age was 71.55 ± 8.94 years; 55% were men. Subjects were divided into two groups according to the IR ≥ 0.84 or < 0.84. The group with higher IR ≥ 0.84 had lower FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, DLCO and, PhA compared to those with IR < 0.84. After adjusting for confounding variables TBW, ECW, IR ≥ 0.84, PhA, and resistance/height increase were associated with decreased FEV1. In the same way, with IR ≥ 0.84, edema index ≥ 0.48, trunk and abdominal IR were negatively associated with FVC, and PhA had a positive association with FVC. Fluid distribution, especially IR and PhA, could be a useful parameter for predicting pulmonary function in COPD patients.
