Background: In recent years, dynapenic abdominal obesity has received more and more attention. This article aimed to explore the relationship between dynapenic abdominal obesity and fall risk in older adults.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, according to waist circumference (≥90 cm for men and ≥85 cm for women) and handgrip strength (<28 kg for men and <18 kg for women), 551 older adults were divided into four groups: dynapenic abdominal obese (D/AO), dynapenic nonabdominal obese (D/NAO), nondynapenic abdominal obese (ND/AO) and nondynapenic nonabdominal obese (ND/NAO). Fall risk was measured by the Tinetti performance-oriented mobility assessment (POMA). Binary logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between D/AO and fall risk.
Results: D/AO was related to POMA score (odds ratio [OR]=3.39; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.47-7.81; P=0.004) after adjusting the confounding variables. However, D/NAO (OR=1.51; 95% CI:0.69-3.32; P=0.302) and ND/AO (OR=1.48; 95% CI:0.74-2.99; P=0.272) were not associated with POMA score.
Conclusion: This study suggests that older adults with D/AO have a higher risk of falls. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the attention to D/AO and relevant interventions should be implemented.

Background: Abdominal obesity and low muscle strength, known separately as risk factors for mortality, might have a synergistic effect when they co-occur. Dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) is a condition defined by the presence of both. However, DAO's independent and combined impact on mortality remains under investigation.

Objective: To investigate the discriminatory capacity of habitual physical activity (HPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) when screening for dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) and dynapenic obesity (DO) in older adults.
Methods: A cross-sectional population epidemiological investigation was conducted with 207 older adults. Obesity was diagnosed by high waist circumference and body mass index.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) and disability in daily living activities among older adults in low- and middle-income countries, finding DAO increases the risk of disability by over twice compared to those without it.
- - Based on data from over 20,000 adults aged 60 and above, DAO was defined by low handgrip strength and high waist circumference, with disability measured by difficulties in daily activities.
- - Diabetes, hypertension, and angina were identified as significant mediators in the relationship between DAO and disability, highlighting the need for further research on how addressing DAO could mitigate disability risks in older populations.

Background: This study aimed to assess the longitudinal association between dynapenic abdominal obesity and new-onset arthritis among the middle-aged and older Chinese population.
Methods: We included 6863 participants from the 2011 and 2015 waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Dynapenia was defined as handgrip strength < 28 kg for males, and < 18 kg for females.

The coexistence of obesity and low muscle strength-denoted dynapenic obesity (DO)-has been associated with an unhealthy metabolic profile and increased risk for metabolic syndrome. However, there is a lack on studies investigating if DO exhibits higher cardiometabolic risk than non-dynapenic obesity. To assess if individuals with DO exhibit elevated cardiometabolic risk compared to non-dynapenic obesity.
