Association between Basal Metabolic Rate and Handgrip Strength in Older Koreans

Abstract: We investigated the relationship between the basal metabolic rate (BMR) and muscle strength through measurement of handgrip strength. We conducted a cross-sectional study of a population representative of older Korean from the 2014–2016 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. A total of 2512 community-dwelling men and women aged 65 years and older were included. The BMR was calculated with the Singapore equation and handgrip strength was measured using a digital dynamometer. The patients were … Show more

“…Moreover, changes in skeletal muscle mass and strength may reflect changes in energy metabolism with aging. In a recent Korean study, handgrip strength was found to be positively associated with the basic metabolic rate (BMR) in 2512 older adults [27]. Thus, a decrease in strength may reflect a loss of skeletal muscle mass.…”

“…BMR is more closely associated with BMD in elderly persons than BMI, FM, and FFM [15,20,21]. BMR is also positively associated with muscle strength [27] while muscle strength and BMD also are correlated [28,29]. Also, our results showed that the AUC of BMR is higher than FFM, and FM, suggesting that BMR might be a good predictor for osteoporosis.…”

“…However, BMR is more closely associated with BMD in elderly persons than BMI, FM, and FFM [ 18 , 22 , 23 ]. BMR is positively associated with muscle strength [ 30 ] while muscle strength and BMD also are correlated [ 31 , 32 ]. Our results also showed that the AUC of BMR is higher than FFM and FM, suggesting that BMR might be a good predictor for osteoporosis.…”
