Comparação da força muscular entre mulheres brasileiras com e sem síndrome metabólica
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is characterized by the combination of several cardiovascular risk factors such as: abdominal obesity, arterial hypertension, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance/type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Some studies have shown that low levels of muscle strength ar...

Some studies have shown that low levels of muscle strength are strongly associated with the prevalence of MS; however, no studies have examined muscle strength in Brazilian women with MS. Objective: To compare the muscle strength between Brazilian women with and without MS. Methods: We evaluated 17 (37.2±8.2 years) Brazilian women with MS and 21 (33.2±7.6 years) Brazilian women without the MS. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program - Adult Treatment Panel III, and the muscle strength was measured by the handgrip test. Results: The muscle strength normalized per body weight was significantly lower in subjects with MS (p=0.005). Conclusion: Women with MS present relative muscle strength values lower than healthy women.http://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=92921260015 |
