The baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the study subjects are shown in Table 2. In the study, a total of 28 menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women participated. Except for the NO-GFD group, the mean BMI was between 25.0 and 29.9 kg/m\({}^{2}\), therefore, it is within the values corresponding to \"overweight\". There were no significant differences between groups in the BMI variable (\(p\) = 0.114). BMI was in the normal range in 35% of the cases, 13 participants were overweight and 5 presented obesity. In terms of age, there were significant differences between the different groups (\(p\) < 0.001). Table 3 shows the values before and after the intervention for the different variables and the statistics obtained after ANCOVA analysis. As for QoL measured with the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, although the differences were not significant, better scores in all domains were observed in GFD + E. In the rest of the groups, depending on the scale observed, the score increased or decreased. In GFD, improvements were observed in the domains \"psychological health\" and \"social relationships\". In NO-GFD, improvements were only observed in the domain \"physical health\", in the rest of the domains the scores decreased and therefore the perception was lower. Finally, in the control group there was only a slight increase in the domain \"environment\". Regarding BC, Table 3 shows the comparison of fat percentage, fat free mass, and visceral fat of the four different groups; significant differences were observed in the variables % fat (\(p<0.001\)) and fat free mass (\(p=0.003\)) in GFD + E. In the case of fat mass, it decreased significantly, while fat-free mass increased. In terms of grip strength, a difference in effect time (\(p=0.010\)) was observed in the right arm. In addition, a trend was observed between GFD + E and NO-GFD at post-intervention time; \(p=0.059\), with higher values in GFD + E compared to NO-GFD; 28.7 \(\pm\) 5.4 kg vs. 25.2 \(\pm\) 1.8 kg, respectively. Summary statistics from the ANOVA analysis show that there was a significant time \(\times\) group difference in fat mass and fat-free mass. There were significant intra-group differences between the variables fat mass (\(p<0.01\)) and fat-free mass (\(p<0.005\)) in GFD + E; celiac women with resistance training + gluten-free nutritional plan. The ANCOVA analysis for the WHOQOL shows significant time \(\times\) group differences in \"psychological health\" and \"environment\" subscales. Between GFD + E and NO-GFD, post hoc analysis showed an inter-group decreased in the \"psychological health\" subscale score (\(p=0.027\)). Differences were also observed at time post between GFD and NO-GFD groups (\(p=0.18\)). As for the \"environment\" subscale, differences were only observed between the NO-GFD and CONTROL groups, with the CONTROL group scoring higher. As can be seen in the correlations (Table 4), age had a relevant negative relation with WHOQOL total score (\(p=0.003\)) and all its subscales; physical health (\(p=0.012\)), psychological health (\(p=0.012\)), social relationships (\(p=0.038\)), and environment (\(p=0.008\)). This suggests that over the years, the QoL perception is lower. Regarding dynamometry, significant correlations were observed with different variables. Negative correlations were observed between age and upper limb strength (\(p<0.001\)), therefore, the older the age, the lower the strength. However, there are also positive correlations between the results of the handgrip test and the different subscales of the WHOQOL (\(p<0.005\) in all cases). Furthermore, the positive correlation (\(p=0.011\)) between dynamometric hand strength and kilograms of LBM (kg) should be highlighted.
