Key Points

The aim is to explore the link between nutritional status and muscle strength in postmenopausal women.
Assess nutritional status using the CONUT score
Measure handgrip strength (HGS) in participants
Analyze the relationship between CONUT scores and HGS
Higher CONUT scores indicate worse nutritional status
Worse nutritional status is correlated with lower handgrip strength

Abstract

The CONUT undernutrition degree was associated with having worse HGS in postmenopausal women. This test score can be a useful tool for assessing the role of nutritional status on muscle strength loss.
