dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVES: This study analyzed the influence of anthropometric indices of adiposity on the physical performance of mid-dle-aged and older women.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 368 women from 50 years to 80 years old. Anthropometric and biochemical characteristics were analyzed, and physical performance was evaluated. The statistical analysis used measures of central tendency and dispersion for descriptive data, Pearson correlations to demonstrate the initial associations between the variables, and canonical correlation (CC) to evaluate the relationship between the set of anthropometric adiposity indices and performance-related variables.RESULTS: The participants had a mean age of 58.57 +/- 8.21 years, a visceral adiposity index of 7.09 +/- 4.23, a body mass index of 29.20 +/- 4.94 kg/m2, and a conicity index of 1.33 +/- 0.07. The average handgrip strength was 25.06 +/- 4.89 kgf, gait speed was 1.07 +/- 0.23 m/s, and the mean Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score was 10.83 +/- 1.36. The first canonical function presented the highest shared variance, CC, and redundancy index (cumulative percentage of variance, 82.52; Wilks' lambda, 0.66; CC, 0.532; p < 0.001). From the analysis of this canonical function, the conicity index (-0.59) displayed inverse correlations with handgrip strength (0.84) and the SPPB (0.68), as well as a direct correlation with gait speed (-0.43).CONCLUSIONS: In middle-aged and older women, there was an inverse relationship between the conicity index and muscle strength and power, while a direct relationship was found between the same index and gait speed.
