“…18,19 We previously reported in a group of young postmenopausal women (aged <65 y), a weak but significant inverse correlation between HGS and women's age. 20 The present results showed that aging is related with the loss of muscle strength and this loss progressively decreases over the years. The aging process is associated with changes in qualitative and quantitative muscle mass.…”

“…10 Age at menopause has been related with HGS and an earlier age at menopause onset has been associated with an increased risk for presenting dynapenia. 20 Thus, menopause could be considered as a factor directly related with muscle strength, regardless of age. 25 The current study revealed that HGS had a weak decline correlated with age at menopause.…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dynapenia and factors related to low dominant handgrip strength (HGS) in postmenopausal women.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 249 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 84 years. The following variables were recorded: age, age at menopause, smoking status, and the HGS measured with a digital dynamometer, body mass index, and adiposity assessed by bioelectric impedance. The physical activity level was evaluated by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Bone mineral density was reported as T-scores, and blood biochemical parameters (calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathormone levels) were measured.Results: 31.3% of women had dynapenia, and those aged !65 years had lower HGS (P < 0.001). Age at menopause was also associated with HGS, with those with menopause < 51 showing lower HGS (P ¼ 0.005). Likewise, fat content ! 40%, and osteopenia/osteoporosis were also related to lower strength (P < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference among HGS with respect to body mass index, smoking status, and plasma levels of vitamin D. A logistic regression model with lower Akaine Information Criterion showed that for every year in age and for each 1% of adiposity, women were more likely to have dynapenia with odd ratio (OR): 1.09; 95% and confidence interval (CI): 1.04 to 1.14 and OR: 1.06; 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.13, respectively. Conversely, women with higher femoral neck T-score were less likely to have dynapenia (OR: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.35-0.78).Conclusions: HGS was associated with age at menopause, bone mineral density, and adiposity adjusted by age. The age and adiposity were significantly associated with a higher risk of dynapenia, whereas women with higher femoral neck T-score were less likely to have dynapenia.

“…At the end of this study, it was concluded that there was no statistically significant relationship between grip strength and BMI. Compatible with this result, any correlation between grip strength and BMI in young postmenopausal women has not been found in the study by Garcia et al (29), but some studies have found a weak correlation (30).…”

Although there is increasing evidence about the role of vitamin D on muscle function, its relationship with grip strength is still a controversial issue. The aim of this cross-sectional clinical study was to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D and grip strength in premenopausal Turkish women. Materials and Methods: A total of 127 women with an age range of 40-50 (44.7±4.3) years who were premenopausal and sedentary were included in this cross-sectional descriptive study. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 30.2±5.3 kg/m 2. Dominant and nondominant grip strengths were measured by digital hand dynamometer. Results: The mean dominant and nondominant grip strengths were 24.2±5.9 kg and 22.5±5.7 kg, respectively. Mean serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration was 16.4±9.7 ng/ml. Participants were divided into three groups as vitamin D deficiency (70.9%), insufficiency (18.1%), and sufficiency (11.0%). No statistically significant difference was found between the groups with respect to age, BMI, and dominant and nondominant grip strengths (p>0.05). Furthermore, no significant relationship was found between serum 25OHD concentration and dominant and nondominant grip strengths (p>0.05). In addition, BMI was not associated with dominant and nondominant grip strengths (p>0.05). Conclusion: These results of this study provide evidence that vitamin D is not effective on grip strength at least in premenopausal Turkish women.

“…43 Muscle strength was measured in postmenopausal women aged <65 years (mean age 57.3 ± 3.7 years) who had normal 25(OH)D levels (⩾30 ng/ ml) and no physical disabilities, with a mean age at menopause of 50.5 ± 2.2 years and a mean BMI of 24.9 ± 3.8. 44 A total of 12.2% of women were diagnosed with dynapenia using a cut-off value of <20 kg in the hand-grip strength (HGS) test. There was a weak inverse correlation between grip strength and age, and an earlier age at menopause onset was associated with an increased risk for dynapenia.…”

The purpose of this review was to assess recent evidence regarding the effects of low vitamin D levels on some highly prevalent clinical conditions of postmenopausal women. We reviewed and selected recent literature regarding menopause-related conditions associated with vitamin D deficiency and interventions to manage them. Low circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels related to menopause are linked to diet, lifestyle, changes in body composition, insulin sensitivity, and reduced physical activity. Vitamin D supplementation increases serum 25(OH)D levels while normalizing parathyroid hormone and bone markers, and in women with serum 25(OH)D levels below 10 ng/ml supplementation may improve bone mineral density. Low vitamin D status has been associated with the metabolic syndrome, high triglyceride levels, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. When compared with placebo, vitamin D supplementation may lower the risk of the metabolic syndrome, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperglycemia. There is an inverse relationship between fat mass and serum 25(OH)D levels and, therefore, the dosage of supplementation should be adjusted according to the body mass index. Although vitamin D supplementation may improve glucose metabolism in prediabetic subjects, data regarding muscle strength are conflictive. There is evidence that vitamin D over-treatment, to reach extremely high circulating 25(OH)D levels, does not result in better clinical outcomes. The identification and treatment of vitamin D deficiency in postmenopausal women may improve their general health and health outcomes. Vitamin D supplementation should preferably be based on the use of either cholecalciferol or calcifediol.
