[Grip strength and high blood pressure: a case-control study].

Introduction: Introduction: Low hand grip strength (HGS) is one of the criteria for diagnosing frailty and sarcopenia, it is associated with the risk of metabolic and mental diseases; Studies have shown that in patients with arterial hypertension (BP), low HGS represents a risk of incidence of cardiovascular disease and mortality, in addition to mortality from other causes; however, there are still no conclusive studies regarding the factors that determine HGS in BP.

Objective: Identify the factors that influence low HGS in patients with BP.

Material And Methods: Cross-sectional, observational, analytical case-control study.

[Dietary inflammatory index related to knee osteoarthritis symptomatology].

Background: Proinflammatory diet contributes to greater symptomatology in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA); however, in Mexico there seems to be no evidence of the dietary inflammatory role, being a country with high prevalence of overweight and obesity with an inclination towards a Western diet.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII) and KOA symptomatology in Mexican patients.

Material And Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study in 100 patients aged 40 to 70 years.

Association of Irisin Serum Concentration and Muscle Strength in Normal-Weight and Overweight Young Women.

Irisin is a muscle-contraction-induced myokine. In previous studies, it has been related to exercise type, fitness and physical activity; however, evidence is not consistent. Thus, the aim of this study was to research the association between health-related fitness and irisin in young women.

[Effect of exercise on the serum concentrations of leptin and adiponectin in adolescents with risk factors of developing diabetes].

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is an increasing health issue. Physical activity (PA) in early stages is a preventive measure in the development of degenerative diseases. It has been documented the association between exercise and leptin and adiponectin concentrations.
