Adiposity, physical activity, and muscle quality are independently related to physical function performance in middle-aged postmenopausal women

Academic Article

Abstract

  • Objective: Poor physical function performance is associated with risks for disability in late life; however, determinants of physical function are not well characterized in middle-aged women. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the contributions of body composition, physical activity, muscle capacity, and muscle quality to physical function performance.
