Healthspan pathway maps in C. elegans and humans highlight transcription, prolifera-tion/biosynthesis and lipids
Steffen Moeller,Nadine Saul,Alan A. Cohen,Ruediger Koehling,Sina Sender,Hugo Murua Escobar,Christian Junghanss,Francesca Cirulli,Alessandra Berry,Péter Antal,Priit Adler,Jaak Vilo,Michele Boiani,Ludger Jansen,Dirk Repsilber,Hans Joergen Grabe,Stephan Struckmann,Israel Barrantes,Mohamed Hamed,Brecht Wouters,Liliane Schoofs,Walter Luyten,Georg Fuellen +22 more
TL;DR: The downregulation of Notch signalling in humans and of proliferation/cell-cycle in C. elegans is observed, and transcription, proliferation/biosynthesis and lipids are identified as a common theme on the annotation level, and proliferation-related kinases on the gene/protein level.

An Initial Assessment of Secular Trends in Muscular Strength Among Children, Adolescents, and Adults Across the Lifespan: National Sample of Americans.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that muscular grip strength, across all age, gender, and race–ethnicity populations in the United States, has not changed in the 2 successive 2-year time windows, contained over a 4-year period.

Social protection expenditure on health in later life in 20 European countries: Spending more to reduce health inequalities
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined whether higher social protection expenditure reduces the negative association of life-course socioeconomic disadvantages with subjective and objective health status and trajectories in later life, and they used linear mixed-effects models stratified by sex to examine the association between life course socioeconomic disadvantage and subjective (self-rated health, SRH, N = 55,443) and objective (grip strength, n = 54,718) health.

Role of arterial stiffness in the association between hand grip strength and cardiovascular events: the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study
Woo Hyeun Kim,Seong Hwan Kim,Cheol Ung Choi,Seung Ku Lee,Dong Oh Kang,Jah Yeon Choi,Seung Young Roh,Jin Oh Na,Jin Won Kim,Eung Ju Kim,Seung-Woon Rha,Chang Gyu Park,Hong Seog Seo,Chol Shin +13 more
TL;DR: Lee et al. as discussed by the authors found that central arterial stiffness could mediate the association between hand grip strength and cardiovascular events, but not with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity.

TL;DR: Lower sarcopenia prevalence usingEWGSOP2 and low agreement between EWGSOP1 and EWGSop2 operational definitions in diagnosing sarcopenIA were observed in PLHIV.

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.
