Journal ArticleDOI
The association of grip strength from midlife onwards with all-cause and cause-specific mortality over 17 years of follow-up in the Tromsø Study
Bjørn Heine Strand,Rachel Cooper,Astrid Bergland,Lone Jørgensen,Henrik Schirmer,Vegard Skirbekk,Nina Emaus +6 more
TL;DR: Weaker grip strength was associated with increased all-cause mortality rates, with similar effects on deaths due to CVD, respiratory disease and external causes, while a much weaker association was observed for cancer-related deaths.

Muscular Strength and Cardiovascular Disease: AN UPDATED STATE-OF-THE-ART NARRATIVE REVIEW
Salvatore Carbone,Danielle L. Kirkman,Ryan S Garten,Paula Rodriguez-Miguelez,Enrique G. Artero,Duck-chul Lee,Carl J. Lavie +6 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the associations of muscular strength (MusS) with cardiovascular disease (CVD), CVD-related death, and all-cause mortality, as well as CVD risk factors, such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension.

Grip strength reference values for Canadians aged 6 to 79: Canadian Health Measures Survey, 2007 to 2013.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed reference equations for maximum, right-hand and left-hand grip strength for selected percentiles as a function of age, height and weight, and found that reference values for grip strength increased through childhood and adolescence, peaked around age 40 and then declined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of handgrip strength with hospitalization, cardiovascular events, and mortality in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
TL;DR: Handgrip strength could be a prognostic indicator for health as well as a diagnostic marker of skeletal muscle mass loss in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes and with hospitalization in women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Skeletal Muscle Mass on Long-Term Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
Kazuhiro Harada,Susumu Suzuki,Hideki Ishii,Toshijiro Aoki,Kenshi Hirayama,Yohei Shibata,Yosuke Negishi,Takuya Sumi,Kazuhiro Kawashima,Ayako Kunimura,Yusaku Shimbo,Yosuke Tatami,Toshiki Kawamiya,Dai Yamamoto,Ryota Morimoto,Yoshinari Yasuda,Toyoaki Murohara +16 more
TL;DR: The psoas muscle mass index (PMI) calculated from noncontrast computed tomography showed that low skeletal muscle mass is an independent predictor of MACE in CKD patients, and may be a valuable screening tool for predicting Mace in clinical practice.

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
Satoru Kodama,Kazumi Saito,Shiro Tanaka,Miho Maki,Yoko Yachi,Mihoko Asumi,Ayumi Sugawara,Kumiko Totsuka,Hitoshi Shimano,Yasuo Ohashi,Nobuhiro Yamada,Hirohito Sone +11 more
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.
