Resumo

Objectives: To investigate muscle strength and the prevalence of muscle weakness in adults with interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) compared to healthy subjects. Design: Cross-sectional (description of clinical features). Setting: Public referral center (University Hospital). Participants: One hundred and twelve adults with ILD (n=48, 60±10yr, 68% female) and healthy counterparts (control group, n=64, 57±10yr, 58% female) (N=112). Intervention: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measure(s): Muscle strength and prevalence of muscle weakness in adults with ILD. Muscle strength was assessed via maximal isometric voluntary contraction of dominant upper and lower limb muscle groups. Data from the control group were used to generate reference equations. Muscle weakness was defined as a muscle strength value below the lower limit of normal calculated using data from the control group. Data were expressed as mean ± SD or median [interquartile range] according to the data distribution. Results: Compared to the control group, adults with ILD had lower muscle strength for all muscle groups assessed (values presented as %predicted: pectoralis major 75[57-86]%; quadriceps 72[58-87]%; latissimus dorsi 76[57-103]%; deltoid 74[64-98]%; biceps brachii 78[64-91]%; triceps brachii 84[62-101]%; P≤.001 for all). Prevalence of muscle weakness in people with ILD was 40% for pectoralis major, 25% for latissimus dorsi, 16% for triceps brachii, 20% for biceps brachii, 27% for deltoid and 46% for quadriceps. Conclusions: Adults with ILD present a generalised reduction in peripheral Muscle strength, ranging between 20% to 46% of people depending on the muscle group assessed. and it was more prevalent in lower limb muscles.
