The Relevance of the Technical Error of Measurement in Anthropometry: A Pilot S...
Rodrigues, Micaela; Guerra, R.; Souza, A.; Valdiviesso, Rui; Rosa, B.; Rodrigues, M.; Lucena, M.L.; Sousa, A.S.; Mendes, J.; Sousa Santos, A.R.<jats:p>Introduction. Anthropometry plays a crucial role in nutritional assessment, especially in clinical and research settings where lack of precision affects data reliability and patient care. However, the accuracy of these measurements is often overlooked when assessing nutritional status and health risks. This study aimed to assess the technical error of measurement (TEM) and evaluate the intra- and inter-...
Association between anthropometric parameters and body fat by dual‑energy x‑ray...
Correia, Mariana; Sousa, Ana; Rodrigues, Micaela; Mendes, Joana; Silva, Cláudia; Valdiviesso, Rui; Sousa-Santos, Ana; Borges, Nuno; Santos, AlejandroIntroduction: Equations for estimating percentage body fat based on anthropometry employ parameters such as weight, stature, body circumferences and skinfolds. However, the validity of the estimates obtained with these equations may vary, depending on factors such as sex and adiposit. Objectives: To study the association of anthropometric parameters with percentage body fat estimates and the effect of sex and o...
Association between handgrip strength and whole-body derived bone mineral densi...
Amante-da-Rosa-Cardoso, Andreia; Cunha-Rodrigues, Micaela; Guerra, Rita; Mendes, Joana; Sousa, Ana; Sousa-Santos, Ana; Silva, Cláudia; Santos, AlejandroIntroduction: Bone mineral density is crucial for assessing bone health and osteoporosis risk. Handgrip strength is a marker of muscle function. Studies suggest that individuals with higher handgrip strength tend to have higher bone mineral density, even after adjusting for age, Body Mass Index, and physical activity. Understanding the relation between handgrip strength and bone mineral density may aid the iden...

Hand Grip Force-Time Curve Indicators Evaluated by Dynamometer: A Systematic Re...
Santos, Tânia; Guerra, R.S.; Valdiviesso, Rui; Amaral, TeresaBackground: Handgrip strength (HGS) is an indicator of muscular strength, used in the diagnosis of sarcopenia, undernutrition, and physical frailty as well as recovery. Typically, the maximum HGS value is used; however, recent evidence suggests the exploration of new indicators provided based on the force-time curve to achieve a more comprehensive assessment of muscle function. Therefore, the objective was to i...
