Hypertension has been regarded as one of the most common chronic diseases reported in different studies, and handgrip strength is a good indicatorof anindividual's overall health. However, few studies have concentrated on investigating the relationship between hypertension and handgrip strength, especially for the middle-aged and elderly population in the community. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the association of handgrip strength with the risk of hypertension. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a multi-instrument questionnaire. A total of 1152 participants aged 45 and older were included in this study. Handgrip strength, social-demographiccharacteristics, behavioral lifestyle and health-related variables were collected. Binary logistic regression was employed to analyse the relationship. Handgrip strength was positively related to the risk of hypertension. Binary logistic regression models revealed that the increase of handgrip strength was significantly associated with the reduction of hypertension risk in female after adjusting forsocial-demographic characteristics, behavioral lifestyle and health-related variables ( [] =0.265 [0.089-0.787]). In addition, after stratifying by age groups, the significant association was still existing in 60-74 years and ≥75 years of female groups, respectively( [] =0.158 [0.032-0.779]; ( [] =0.009 [0.000-0.409]). No significant associations were observed in male after adjusting variables. stronger handgrip strength was association with the lower risk ofhypertension for the elderly female population. BMI: body mass index; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HC: hip circumference; SBP, systolic blood pressure; WC: waist circumference; WHC: hip-waist relation.

Purpose: Our study evaluated skeletal muscle mass, function and quality among mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) patients and non-functioning adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) patients in comparison with the control group without adrenal mass.
Methods: 63 NFAI (49 female, 14 male) and 31 MACS (24 female, 7 male) patients were included in the study. As the control group, 44 patients (31 women, 13 men) who were known to have no radiological adrenal pathology on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging performed for other reasons were selected.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an 8-week physiotherapy program on muscle strength, functional capacity, respiratory function, and quality of life in women recovering from COVID-19. A prospective cohort study was conducted with 42 women aged 18-65 who experienced muscle strength loss and functional impairments post-COVID-19. Participants underwent personalized physiotherapy interventions, including resistance training, respiratory therapy, and functional mobility exercises, for 8 weeks.

Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) is characterized by the persistence of one or more symptoms after the acute phase, leading to physical disabilities. This study aims to investigate whether the functional capacity and respiratory function 120 days post-COVID-19 differed according to the level of respiratory support needed during hospitalization in acute COVID-19 in the pre-vaccine rollout period. We followed up with 118 COVID-19 hospitalized patients in the acute phase until 120 days post-acute disease, with patients split into a Non-Invasive Oxygen Therapy Group (OTG, n = 72), Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Group (IMV, n = 12), and Room Air Group (RAG, n = 34), assessing the body composition, respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function, functional capacity, and muscle strength at the follow-up visit.

This study analyzed the acute and time-course changes following one resistance training (RT) set (1SET) and three sets (3SET) on hemodynamic and physical performance parameters in individuals with different cognitive impairment levels. Thirty-nine individuals (22 women and 17 men aged 80 ± 9 years) grouped by cognitive impairment (mild [MILD], moderate [MOD], and severe [SEV]) randomly performed two protocols, each separated by one week, of 1SET or 3SET of 10 repetitions. Before (PRE), immediately (POST), and 72 h after (POST72) protocols, the participants performed the following measurements: systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), 1-kg medicine ball throw (MBT) distance, five-repetition sit-to-stand (STS) time, and handgrip strength (HGS).
