Relationship between Muscle Mass/Strength and Hepatic Fat Content in Post-Menopausal Women
TL;DR: Positive correlations exist between muscle mass/strength and the progressed severity of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among postmenopausal women, and the correlations are independent of insulin resistance.

Biological aging of human body and brain systems
Y E Tian,Vanessa Cropley,Andrea B. Maier,Nikola Lautenschlager,Michael Breakspear,Andrew Zalesky +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that an organ's biological age selectively influences the aging of other organ systems, revealing a multiorgan aging network and revealing the multisystem nature of human aging.

Association of Muscle Strength with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Korean Adults
TL;DR: Relative handgrip strength, used as a biomarker of sarcopenia, is independently inversely associated with NAFLD, and the prevalence ofNAFLD decreased with quartile 4 groups in relative handg Grip strength, compared with quartial 1 groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influencing factors for the decline of limb muscle strength and the association with all-cause mortality: evidence from a nationwide population-based cohort study.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the influencing factors for the declined limb muscle strength and the association with all-cause mortality among the elderly Chinese individuals aged ≥ 65 years in a large long-term prospective cohort study.

A Proportional Hazards Model for the Subdistribution of a Competing Risk
Jason P. Fine,Robert Gray +1 more
TL;DR: This article proposes methods for combining estimates of the cause-specific hazard functions under the proportional hazards formulation, but these methods do not allow the analyst to directly assess the effect of a covariate on the marginal probability function.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies using MEDLINE (1966 to December 31, 2008) and EMBASE (1980 to December 30, 2008), which reported associations of baseline cardiorespiratory fitness with CHD events, CVD events, or all-cause mortality in healthy participants.

A review of the measurement of grip strength in clinical and epidemiological studies: towards a standardised approach
Helen C. Roberts,Hayley J Denison,Helen J Martin,Harnish P. Patel,Holly E. Syddall,Cyrus Cooper,Avan Aihie Sayer +6 more
TL;DR: A standardised method of measuring grip strength would enable more consistent measurement of grip strength and better assessment of sarcopenia.

Strength, But Not Muscle Mass, Is Associated With Mortality in the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study Cohort
Anne B. Newman,Varant Kupelian,Marjolein Visser,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Bret H. Goodpaster,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Frances A. Tylavsky,Susan M. Rubin,Tamara B. Harris +8 more
TL;DR: Low muscle mass did not explain the strong association of strength with mortality, demonstrating that muscle strength as a marker of muscle quality is more important than quantity in estimating mortality risk.
