We aimed to investigate the relationship between functional status and body mass index (BMI) in a population with and without FMS. A pilot case\u2013control study was performed in 34 women with FMS and 22 healthy controls which were classified according to their BMI. The main outcome measures were: Balance (MiniBestest, One Leg Stance Test), functional mobility (Timed up and Go), physical disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index), spinal range of motion (Spinal Mouse), level of physical activity at work (Leisure Time Physical Activity Instrument), and home and leisure time (Physical Activity at Home and Work). Statistical differences were observed between overweight\/obese healthy controls and women with FMS for several indicators of functional capacity. FMS patients reported worse dynamic (p = 0.001) and static balance (right: p = 0.002, left: p = 0.001), poorer functional mobility (p = 0.008), and higher levels of physical disability (p = 0.001). Functional status is altered in FMS women compared to the healthy control group, independently of nutritional status; therefore, BMI is unlikely to play a main role in functional capacity indicators in postmenopausal FMS women. Only dynamic balance seems to reduce the obesity status in this population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16224540","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,18]],"date-time":"2019-11-18T04:31:10Z","timestamp":1574051470000},"page":"4540","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Functional Status and Body Mass Index in Postmenopausal Women with Fibromyalgia: A Case\u2013control Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Cer\u00f3n Lorente","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Carmen","family":"Garc\u00eda R\u00edos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria ibs.GRANADA, 18014 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Santiago","family":"Navarro Ledesma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosa Mar\u00eda","family":"Tapia Haro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Casas Barrag\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9165-4349","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda","family":"Correa-Rodr\u00edguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria ibs.GRANADA, 18014 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Encarnaci\u00f3n","family":"Aguilar Ferr\u00e1ndiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, University of Granada (UGR), 18016 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biosanitaria ibs.GRANADA, 18014 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"426130","article-title":"Fibromyalgia Syndrome: Etiology, Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment","volume":"2012","author":"Bellato","year":"2012","journal-title":"Pain Res.
