Stephanie A. Studenski,Subashan Perera,Kushang V. Patel,Caterina Rosano,Kimberly A. Faulkner,Marco Inzitari,Jennifer S. Brach,Julie Chandler,Peggy M. Cawthon,Elizabeth Connor,Michael C. Nevitt,Marjolein Visser,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Stefania Badinelli,Tamara B. Harris,Anne B. Newman,Jane A. Cauley,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik +18 more
TL;DR: In this pooled analysis of individual data from 9 selected cohorts, gait speed was associated with survival in older adults and predicted survival was as accurate as predicted based on age, sex, use of mobility aids, and self-reported function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stephanie A. Studenski,Katherine W. Peters,Dawn E. Alley,Peggy M. Cawthon,Robert R. McLean,Tamara B. Harris,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Maren S. Fragala,Anne M. Kenny,Douglas P. Kiel,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Michelle Shardell,Thuy Tien L. Dam,Maria T. Vassileva +14 more
TL;DR: Based on the analyses presented in this series, the final recommended cutpoints for weakness are grip strength <26kg for men and <16kg for women, and for low lean mass, appendicular lean mass adjusted for body mass index <0.789 forMen and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of 2 Frailty Indexes for Prediction of Falls, Disability, Fractures, and Death in Older Women
Kristine E. Ensrud,Susan K. Ewing,Brent C Taylor,Howard A Fink,Peggy M. Cawthon,Katie L. Stone,Teresa A. Hillier,Jane A. Cauley,Marc C. Hochberg,Nicolas Rodondi,J. Kathleen Tracy,Steven R. Cummings +11 more
TL;DR: The simple SOF index predicts risk of falls, disability, fracture, and death as well as the more complex CHS index and may provide a useful definition of frailty to identify older women at risk of adverse health outcomes in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and baseline characteristics of the osteoporotic fractures in men (MrOS) study — A large observational study of the determinants of fracture in older men
Eric S. Orwoll,Janet Babich Blank,Elizabeth Barrett-Connor,Jane A. Cauley,Steven R. Cummings,Kristine E. Ensrud,Cora E. Lewis,Peggy M. Cawthon,Robert Marcus,Lynn M. Marshall,Joan McGowan,Kathy R. Phipps,Sherry Sherman,Marcia L. Stefanick,Katie L. Stone +14 more
TL;DR: The MrOS cohort should provide valuable information concerning the determinants of fracture in men and should help set the stage for the development of effective methods to identify those at risk of fracture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sarcopenia: etiology, clinical consequences, intervention, and assessment
TL;DR: The resulting long-term outcomes in terms of loss of function, which causes increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries and other morbidities, leading to frailty and loss of independence are discussed.
