The relationship between lean mass, muscle strength and physical ability in independent healthy elderly women from the community

Abstract: Age has a negative impact on the strength and the physical performance in independent healthy women without co-morbidities. Physical ability tests are positively influenced by the strength of the lower limb. These relationships suggest that muscle strength should be the parameter to be prioritized when preparing for healthy aging.

“…The Timed Up-and-Go test (TUG) is a simple, valid, and reliable method to assess functional mobility and balance [48], which has already been used in elderly women [49]. It is based on everyday activities and requires standing from a chair, walking 3 meters, turning around, and sitting down again [45].…”

“…Da bei Senioren Veränderungen in der Muskelkraft über die Zeit nicht linear mit Veränderungen an der Muskelmasse einhergehen [8], erweist sich das knee extension peak torque in dieser Population nicht als geeigneter Surrogatparameter für die Muskelmasse. Zudem zeigten Untersuchungen bei Senioren überwiegend nur mäßige Korrelationen zwischen Beinmuskelkraft und Muskelmasse (Quadrizepsquerschnitt: r = 0,48 -0,55; aLM: r = 0,44 -0,50) [10,41].…”
