The purpose of this study was to compare functionality and strength among women with fibromyalgia (FM), women without FM, and older women.
Twenty-nine women with FM (age [X+/-SD]=46+/-7 years), 12 age- and weight-matched women without FM (age=44+/-8 years), and 38 older women who were healthy (age=71+/-7 years) participated.
The Continuous Scale-Physical Functional Performance Test (CS-PFP) was used to assess functionality. Isokinetic leg strength was measured at 60 degrees/s, and handgrip strength was measured using a handgrip dynamometer.
The women without FM had significantly higher functionality scores compared with women with FM and older women. There were no differences in functionality between women with FM and older women. Strength measures for the leg were higher in women without FM compared with women with FM and older women, and both women with and without FM had higher grip strengths compared with older women.
This study demonstrated that women with FM and older women who are healthy have similar lower-body strength and functionality, potentially enhancing the risk for premature age-associated disability.
本研究旨在比较纤维肌痛（FM）女性、非FM女性和老年女性之间的功能和力量。
29名FM女性（年龄[X±标准差]=46±7岁）、12名年龄和体重匹配的非FM女性（年龄=44±8岁）以及38名健康老年女性（年龄=71±7岁）参与了研究。
使用连续量表-身体功能表现测试（CS-PFP）评估功能。以60度/秒的速度测量等速腿部力量，使用握力计测量握力。
与FM女性和老年女性相比，非FM女性的功能得分显著更高。FM女性和老年女性之间的功能没有差异。与FM女性和老年女性相比，非FM女性的腿部力量测量值更高，并且FM女性和非FM女性的握力均高于老年女性。
本研究表明，FM女性和健康老年女性具有相似的下肢力量和功能，这可能增加过早出现与年龄相关残疾的风险。
