ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Low muscle strength is a predictor of mortality in older adults. Although the evidence concerning hyperglycemia is limited, evidence shows that omega-3 (ω-3) intake may be positively associated with muscle strength. However, the association between plasma ω-3 and muscle strength in older adults according to glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) levels has not yet been investigated.OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate whether plasma ω-3 levels are associated with handgrip strength in individuals over 50 years according to HbA1c levels.METHODS:
This cross-sectional study included 950 older adults (50-85 years) from NHANES 2011-2012. Linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between plasma ω-3 and handgrip strength in individuals with elevated (≥5.7%) or normal HbA1c levels after adjustments for confounders.RESULTS:
Total plasma ω-3, docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and alpha-linolenic acid were not associated with handgrip strength in older adults regardless of HbA1c levels.CONCLUSION:
Plasma ω-3 levels are not associated with handgrip strength in individuals over 50 years old independent of HbA1c levels.Palabras clave
