TL;DR: In this paper, handgrip strength was assessed by a dynamometer, whereas other muscle strength assessments comprised maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the quadriceps femoris and 1-repetition maximum (1RM) of biceps and triceps brachii.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pain, impaired functioning, poor satisfaction and diminished health status eight years following perilunate (fracture) dislocations
TL;DR: A perilunate (fracture) dislocation has a significant impact on everyday life, as patients experience diminished range of motion, pain, diminished physical functioning, diminished satisfaction and report lower general health status than healthy controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in Muscle Strength and Metabolic Parameters Despite Muscle Mass Loss in the Initial Six Months After Bariatric Surgery
Roberto Viña Coral,André Vicente Bigolin,Mayara Christ Machry,Rodrigo Koprovski Menguer,Júlio Carlos Pereira-Lima,Isabela Contin,Paula Veigas Stock +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the correlation between the diagnosis criteria for sarcopenia and metabolic repercussions during the first 6 months following bariatric surgery and found significant improvement regarding muscle strength and function after surgery.

TL;DR: In community-dwelling older men, mild-to-moderate renal impairment at baseline was associated with declines in grip strength, gait speed, and muscle function over time despite preservation of muscle mass.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle strength, but not body mass index, is associated with mortality in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease
TL;DR: This work examines the independent and combined associations of body mass index (BMI) and muscle strength with overall mortality in individuals with NAFLD.

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.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness as a Quantitative Predictor of All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Healthy Men and Women: A Meta-analysis

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.
