Relationship between change in weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, fat-mass and fat free mass with hand grip strength and peak oxygen uptake in men (A, C) and women (B, D) adjusted for model (2). Model (2) was adjusted for PA, metabolic syndrome, age, baseline outcome, smoking baseline and follow-up. FM is additionally adjusted for FFM and vice versa. Abbreviations: 95%-CI – 95% confidence interval, PA – physical activity, BMI – body mass index, FM – fat mass, FFM – fat free mass, HGS – hand grip strength, VO2peak – peak oxygen uptake.
