“…They found that women with rheumatoid arthritis showed a decreased ability to achieve maximum HGS compared to healthy women irrespective of dominance. Amorim et al [ 22 ] examined the association between anthropometric indices, including HGS, and low or high functional performance in terms of several chronic diseases in older adults. They reported that functional performance was significantly associated with arthritis, and the high-functioning group had lower WHtR and higher HGS than the low-functioning group.…”

Background Hand grip strength (HGS) is related to arthritis and all-cause mortality. Many studies have examined the association between HGS and arthritis, but these studies did not consider relative HGS indices. The objectives of this study were to examine the association between arthritis and HGS indices in an older Korean population and to compare an absolute HGS index and a relative HGS indices. Methods In a large-scale cross-sectional study, a total of 16,860 subjects older than 50 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Survey from 2014 to 2019 were included for statistical analysis. A binary logistic regression model was used to examine the association between arthritis and HGS indices in crude and covariate-adjusted models. Results In the crude analysis, all anthropometric and HGS indices were associated with arthritis except for weight in men. In adjusted models 1 and 2, among the anthropometric indices, waist circumference (WC) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were associated with arthritis in men but not in women. Absolute HGS and all relative HGS indices showed a negative association with arthritis among both men and women, and the magnitude of the association of arthritis with the absolute HGS index and the relative HGS indices was similar. However, the magnitude of the association between all HGS indices and arthritis was higher for men than for women except in the crude analysis. Discussion Absolute and relative HGS indices had negative associations with arthritis, and the magnitude of the association between the absolute HGS index and arthritis and between the relative HGS indices and arthritis was similar in all models. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an association between arthritis and relative HGS indices, which was not observed in previous studies.

“…We found it a little difficult to interpret the work of Paranhos Amorim et al. [ 1 ] as body fat and appendicular skeletal mass were analyzed for difference statistically. It is unclear to us if body composition values truly obey the laws of statistics.…”

“…These cytokines cause several negative changes, such as increased expression of proteins that contribute to atrophy of the skeletal muscle [16,17] and decreased glucose uptake in this tissue favoring the uptake of this substrate in the adipose tissue, thus creating a vicious cycle of muscle catabolism and increased body fat [15,18]. In addition, dynapenia and obesity are factors associated with adverse health prognoses, such as frailty, all-cause mortality [19,20], inability to perform activities of daily living [11], and lower physical performance [21,22].…”

Introduction: Aging is associated with a decrease in strength (dynapenia) and an increase in body fat. Both obesity and dynapenia negatively influence health in the oldest old. When these two variables coexist, called dynapenic obesity (DO), these further harms the older adult's health. Objective: To verify the influence of dynapenic obesity on inflammation, physical performance, and muscle quality in the oldest old with and without DO. Methods: Forty-six oldest old participants were included in this study, and sociodemographic, muscle strength, body composition, physical performance, and cytokine data were collected. The sample was divided into DO and control groups to compare the variables. Results: The DO group had higher levels of inflammation, lower levels of absolute handgrip strength, and field muscle quality index than the control group, but with no difference in physical performance or laboratory muscle quality index. Conclusion: Therefore, this study points to dynapenic obesity as an important variable that should be evaluated and considered in the oldest old to prevent possible adverse outcomes in this population.
