Nutritional Support Team Intervention for Patients with Mandibular Fracture Treated by Intermaxillary Fixation
Keisuke Kondo,Norio Horie,Miki Ohmuro,Miyuki Sato,Minako Tokuyama,Takashi Muroya,Kayoko Inoue,Akio Odaka +7 more
TL;DR: The body weight loss was significantly higher during the NST waiting period than during the weekly NST active period, and the body weight weight loss of patients with increased grip strength was significantly lower than that of Patients with decreased grip strength.

Effects of changes in depressive symptoms on handgrip strength in later life: A four-year longitudinal study in England.
TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study using data from the English Longitudinal Study of Aging, a nationally representative panel survey of older adults in England, was conducted to examine the magnitude of the association between depressive symptoms over 2 years and weak handgrip strength on the 4 years of follow-up.

Examining Additional Aspects of Muscle Function with a Digital Handgrip Dynamometer and Accelerometer in Older Adults: A Pilot Study.
Sean Mahoney,Lukus Klawitter,Kyle J. Hackney,Lindsey Dahl,Stephen D. Herrmann,Bradley Edwards,Ryan McGrath +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that these additional measures of muscle function may differ from maximal HGS alone, and contractile steadiness, and functional strength emerged as dimensions from the HGS measurements that the authors evaluated.

Markedly poor physical functioning status of people experiencing homelessness admitted to an acute hospital setting
TL;DR: This study revealed hospital in-patients registered as homeless displayed particularly poor physical functioning levels and mobility regardless of age, which should be addressed by health and housing services.

Sarcopenia and Vitamin D Deficiency in Patients with Crohn's Disease: Pathological Conditions That Should Be Linked Together.
Francesco Palmese,Rossella Del Toro,Rossella Del Toro,Giulia Di Marzio,Pierluigi Cataleta,Maria Giulia Sama,Marco Domenicali,Marco Domenicali +7 more
TL;DR: The relationship between vitamin D deficiency and sarcopenia has been extensively studied in other populations, with interesting evidence in regards to a potential role of vitamin D supplementation as a means to prevent and treat sarcopenias as discussed by the authors.

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.
