Low Handgrip Strength, Obesity Associated With Increased Risk of CKD in Women
A study published in The Journal of The North American Menopause Society found that postmenopausal women who had low handgrip strength and a high waist circumference, defined here as dynapenic-abdominal obesity, had a higher risk of chronic kidney disease ( CKD) when compared with other women who were obese, dynapenic, or healthy.
Conclusion: The researchers concluded that there was an association of dynapenic-abdominal obesity, determined by hand grip strength and abdominal obesity, with CKD in women post-menopause.
