Demographic and laboratory variables were collected, and hyponatremia was classified according to severity and etiology.

In individuals with obesity, hand grip strength can help identify muscle weakness that may not be apparent due to high body mass. The purpose of this study is to describe the absolute and adjusted hand grip strength values for weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) in obese patients.

The prevalence of low muscle strength in patients with obesity goes from 14.5% up and 23.4% depending on the cut-off points used, being higher with those of Sánchez-Torralvo´s cut-off points.
