Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the possible association of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) with muscle strength and body composition.

Methods: The cross-sectional study evaluated 112 postmenopausal women (aged 41-71 years). Fasting blood samples were obtained for biochemical/hormonal assessment. The Mediterranean Dietary Score (MedDietScore) was calculated and used to stratify adherence by tertiles (low [T1], moderate [T2] or high [T3]). Handgrip strength (HGS) was measured by dynamometry and body composition with dual-X-ray absorptiometry.

Results: Women with low-moderate MedDietScore (T1/T2) had lower HGS values than those with higher scores (19.5 ± 4.9 kg vs. 21.9 ± 3.9 kg, p = 0.023). A linear stepwise increase of HGS values per MedDietScore tertile was found (T1 vs. T2 vs. T3: 18.4 ± 4.4 kg vs. 20.6 ± 5.2 kg vs. 21.9 ± 3.9 kg, ANOVA p-value for linear trend = 0.009, ANCOVA p-value = 0.026). Multivariable models confirmed that HGS values were independently associated with the MedDietScore (β-coefficient = 0.266, p = 0.010). Lean mass values were associated with the MedDietScore (β-coefficient = 0.205, p = 0.040). All models were adjusted for age and cardiometabolic risk factors.

Conclusions: The data suggest that the higher the adherence to the MD, the better the muscle strength and lean mass in postmenopausal women. Prospective studies are required to evaluate the significance of these observations in cardiovascular prevention strategies at midlife.

坚持地中海饮食与绝经后妇女的握力有关。

研究目的本研究旨在评估坚持地中海饮食（Mediterranean diet，MD）与肌肉力量和身体成分之间可能存在的关联：这项横断面研究评估了 112 名绝经后妇女（41-71 岁）。研究采集了空腹血液样本，用于生化/激素评估。计算地中海饮食评分（MedDietScore），并按三等分（低[T1]、中[T2]或高[T3]）对坚持地中海饮食的情况进行分层。手握力（HGS）通过测力计测量，身体成分通过双 X 射线吸收测定法测量：结果：低中度 MedDietScore（T1/T2）女性的 HGS 值低于高分女性（19.5 ± 4.9 kg vs. 21.9 ± 3.9 kg，p = 0.023）。每个 MedDietScore 三等分的 HGS 值呈线性递增（T1 vs. T2 vs. T3：18.4 ± 4.4 kg vs. 20.6 ± 5.2 kg vs. 21.9 ± 3.9 kg，线性趋势的方差分析 p 值 = 0.009，方差分析 p 值 = 0.026）。多变量模型证实，HGS 值与 MedDietScore 值独立相关（β 系数 = 0.266，p = 0.010）。瘦体重值与 MedDietScore 相关（β系数 = 0.205，p = 0.040）。所有模型均根据年龄和心脏代谢风险因素进行了调整：数据表明，绝经后妇女坚持 MD 的程度越高，肌肉力量和瘦体重越好。需要进行前瞻性研究，以评估这些观察结果在中年心血管预防策略中的意义。

期刊介绍： Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women. Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments. The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
