Dynapenic obesity and all-Cause mortality: A systematic review and Meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dynapenia and obesity have been independently shown to be associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality. However, the association between dynapenic obesity [defined by waist circumference (WC) or body mass index (BMI)] and all-cause mortality is not yet fully elucidated.

Methods

We systematically searched databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, to explore the relationship between dynapenic obesity and all-cause mortality up to February 2024. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality were calculated for individuals with dynapenic abdominal obesity (DAO) and dynapenic obesity defined by BMI relative to a healthy reference group.

Results

Six studies examining DAO and six assessing dynapenic obesity defined by BMI were inclu
