The prediction of Metabolic Syndrome alterations is improved by combining waist circumference and handgrip strength measurements compared to either alone

Abstract: Background Adiposity is a major component of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), low muscle strength has also been identified as a risk factor for MetS and for cardiovascular disease. We describe the prevalence of MetS and evaluate the relationship between muscle strength, anthropometric measures of adiposity, and associations with the cluster of the components of MetS, in a middle-income country. Methods MetS was defined by the International Diabetes F… Show more

“…In women, all results showed no association results [17,18]. Some of the results showed significant results in men [24]. Weight- [16,20,21,23] and BMIrelative [4,[17][18][19] HGS were consistently associated with MetS both men and women.…”

“…The average muscle strength was used for this study. Body mass index (BMI), body weight, and WC are well-known factors used for relative muscle strength [4,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Relative muscle strength was calculated as the muscle strength divided by BMI, body weight, and WC for analysis independent of body composition.…”

“…In contrast, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) developed as a highly accurate method that is suitable for evaluating the body composition. Third, low muscle strength has also been identified as a risk factor for MS in recent studies [ 34 , 35 ]. However, we did not measure muscle function or strength in this study; therefore, the role of muscle strength in metabolic disorders is perhaps neglected.…”

“…Recently, adolescent hypertension has been shown to promote early onset type 2 diabetes [ 5 ] which has even more deleterious cardiovascular sequela compared to later onset diabetes [ 44 ]. Moreover, elevated blood pressure is a central factor of the metabolic syndrome [ 45 ] representing insulin resistance which is induced by obesity [ 46 ]. Nevertheless, we observed opposite trends of the BMI and the BP among adolescents throughout the study period, while other traditional environmental and behavioral risk factors are considered to remain stable throughout the years.…”
