Women with osteoporosis. Nondisabled women. Women from non-industrialized countries. Relevance – Patients with CFS have similar difficulties in standing and sitting as patients with osteoporosis.

Compared groups on TLS. – TLS measures how long someone can hold 1 kg dumbbell in each hand with arms straight out in front of him- or herself.

After adjusting for age, body height, and weight: – Combined trunk and arm endurance was even lower in women with CFS than women older than 25 with osteoporosis and women from non-industrialized countries.
