Popis: Abstract Body composition and muscle strength are emerging aspects in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) clinical assessment. We aimed to study the relationships of handgrip strength (HGS) with anthropometric variables, body composition, and disease staging, and to evaluate the prevalence of dynapenia in 102 clinically stable IPF patients (70 M; mean age: 69.4 years). Fat-free mass (FFM), skeletal muscle (SM) were estimated with bioimpedance analysis. HGS was measured with a digital handle dynamometer for both dominant and non-dominant body sides. Dynapenia was identified according to six recognized criteria sets. Mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.2 ± 4.7 kg/m2, with a prevalence of overweight (BMI > 25 and
