Novel and traditional anthropometric measures of obesity association with dynapenia in postmenopausal women

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the relationship between traditional and novel anthropometric measures of obesity—specifically BMI, Body Roundness Index (BRI), and A Body Shape Index (ABSI)—with handgrip strength (HGS) and dynapenia in postmenopausal women. Their findings revealed no significant correlations between these obesity measures and HGS or dynapenia, suggesting that these anthropometric indices may not be effective indicators of muscle strength in this population.
