Abstract
This study analyzed body composition, functional capacity, and quality of life in 34 university staff members (18 women; 31.2 ± 16.6 years), comparing results by sex and age group, and correlating them with length of service. Assessments included BMI, body fat percentage, lean mass, handgrip strength, flexibility, standing long jump, and SF-36 domains, applying Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman’s correlation tests (p < 0.05). Men presented higher body weight (p = 0.009), height (p = 0.001), lean mass (p < 0.001), and vitality (p = 0.035). Age and length of service were associated with anthropometric measures. Length of service was positively correlated with vitality (ρ = 0.55; p < 0.001). These findings suggest associations between occupational characteristics and aspects of perceived health, supporting institutional health promotion strategies.

BACKGROUND
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is accompanied by obesity and elevated body mass index (BMI), which may be associated with poorer physical function and quality of life (QOL). However, associations of BMI with muscle strength, functional capacity, balance, and QOL have not been comprehensively evaluated toget...

Abstract Background Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference are indicators of body composition and have been linked with with physical function in adults. Higher BMI, particularly when accompanied by excess fat, can lead to reduced mobility. Conversely, low BMI in adults may signal sarcopenia, also impairing phys...
