Abstract
The present study aimed to characterize sarcopenic obesity (SpOb) and its related morbidities in free‐living adults clinically selected for a lifestyle modification program(LiSM).The study analyzed retrospectively baseline data from 523 individuals, of both genders that spontaneously joint the LiSM (Move for Health_Mexa‐se pro‐saude) program. The selected sample had data of medical anamneses, anthropometry, physical (and cardiorespiratory) fitness and blood biochemistry. Abdominal obese (Ob) definition, was defined by altered waist circumference (NCEP‐ATP III). Sarcopenia (Sp) was defined by the lower quartile of muscle‐mass index (kg muscle mass/m2 height=MMI). Statistical analyzes were performed by SAS software 9.2 (p <0.05).The sample was 54.74 ± 10.18 years old, 72.7% females, 28.5% sarcopenic, 69.6% (abdominal) obese and 20.6% SpOb. Ob subjects presented higher BMI, % BF and MMI, along with higher values of triglycerides, blood glucose, HOMA‐IR, CRP, uric acid and reduced values of plasma HDL‐c, trunkal flexibility and VO2max. Sp was associated with lower values of handgrip strength, HDL‐c and higher HOMA‐IR. SpOb Individuals were older and presented lower muscle strength and aerobic fitness as well lower plasma HDL‐c and higher HOMA‐IR. After adjustments cardiorespiratory fitness was the only age‐dependent discriminant of (abdominal) obese sarcopenia.Thus, The anthopometric diversion of SpOb keeps the pro‐inflammatory status (higher HOMA‐IR and lower HDL‐c) of its components (Ob and Sp) and has cardiorrespiratory fitness, as the sole aging‐dependent discriminant.Support or Funding InformationSupport CNPq and CAPESThis abstract is from the Experimental Biology 2018 Meeting.
