Muscle strength is a crucial predictor of adverse outcomes and essential for identifying kratopenia physical limitations. Smoking can aggravate this condition, damaging the musculoskeletal system. Assessing muscle strength, especially with portable dynamometers, early detection dysfunction. Studies demonstrate importance standardizing protocols defining cut-off points peripheral weakness in general. Thus, focusing on effects smoking function, objective was to investigate based functional limitation identify presence smokers. This cross-sectional study, composed smokers (conventional cigarettes), regardless gender, aged over 18 years, conducted comprehensive approach. The volunteers were evaluated by personal data, carbon monoxide analysis (monoximetry), physical-functional aspects such as lung function (spirometry), performance (6-minute walk test, sit-to-stand, fourmeter gate speed, activity daily life), (portable digital dynamometry). A total 143 evaluated, high levels tobacco dependence preserved function. Men showed significantly higher across all variables (p < 0.05). ROC revealed acceptable discrimination detecting from limitation: AUC 70% knee extension 0.01) identified lower than 214.8Nw 273.6Nw; flexion 125 Nw 156.2Nw, women men, respectively, be loss power. Kratopenia present > 50% participants peak torque (Nw) (56% 52% flexion), being more prevalent women.
