Influence of Body Composition and Nutrition Parameters in Handgrip Strength: Are There Differences by Sex in Hemodialysis Patients?

Abstract: Background: Hemodialysis (HD) patients are vulnerable to multiple metabolic and nutrition derangements, leading to changes in body composition. Handgrip strength (HGS) has been used as a nutrition marker. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between HGS and lean tissue mass (LTM) with several parameters in HD patients and develop HGS predictive equations. Methods: Cross‐sectional study with 155 patients in HD treatment for ≥3 months. Body composition was assessed through bioimpedance spectroscopy. HGS was mea… Show more

“…In hemodialysis patients, overhydration is associated with malnutrition and inflammation, 30 representing a strong predictor of all-cause mortality in this population. 21 We confirmed the significant association between overhydration/extracellular water and hypomagnesemia in hemodialysis patients. 21 We confirmed the significant association between overhydration/extracellular water and hypomagnesemia in hemodialysis patients.…”

“…[26][27][28] Handgrip strength is significantly and positively correlated with serum Mg levels in men but negatively correlated with overhydration/extracellular water in both men and women. 21 We confirmed the significant association between overhydration/extracellular water and hypomagnesemia in hemodialysis patients. We also found higher serum CRP levels in hemodialysis patients with hypomagnesemia, which is in agreement with previous observations.…”

“…2,4 Moreover, lower HGS has been associated with higher mortality in MHD patients. 3,[5][6][7] As occurs in the general population, 8 a large discrepancy in muscle strength is observed in MHD patients by age and gender. Thus, it is imperative to take into account the specific sex and age differences in muscle strength in studies that investigate associations between HGS and MHD outcomes.…”

“…Other studies have also found negative correlations between HGS and age. 10,21,34,35 Another variable associated with malnutrition was MIS, especially among women (OR = 0.382; p = 0.031); and the higher the MIS, the greater the odds ratio for the patient to present malnutrition according to the HGS criteria. Other authors found a significant association between HGS and MIS.…”
