Overview

Prospective cohort study explores the link between dynapenic abdominal obesity and digestive diseases in postmenopausal women, indicating potential health risks.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate the association between dynapenic abdominal obesity and incident non-neoplastic digestive system diseases in postmenopausal women.
  • Prospective cohort study with 2115 postmenopausal women from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.
  • Participants classified into four groups based on dynapenic status and abdominal obesity.
  • Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models used to evaluate the association with incident non-neoplastic digestive system diseases.
  • Over 9 years, 446 participants developed non-neoplastic digestive system diseases.
  • The D/AO group had a higher risk of NNDSD (HR: 1.892, 95% CI: 1.256–2.849) compared to ND/NAO group.
  • Subgroup analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings.
