Abstract Objective To examine the association between serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels with handgrip strength (HGS) and dynapenia in euthyroid postmenopausal women. Methods This was an exploratory cross-sectional study among 385 participants from Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, Reproduction Dexeus Women's University Hospital, Barcelona, Spain. Age, age at menopause, adiposity, alcohol consumption, body mass index (BMI), smoking status were recorded. TSH determined by...
