Harald Krenzlin,L. Schmidt,Dragana Jankovic,Carina Schulze,Mark A. Brockman,Florian Ringel,Naureen Keric +6 more
TL;DR: Measureting the SMA and BMD using an axial CT of the lumbar spine might help to prevent an IF in spinal fusion surgery via early detection and treatment of sarcopenia and osteoporosis.

TL;DR: In this urban and rural Russian population aged 40+ years, DR prevalence was relatively low, showed an inverted U-shaped association with age, and in a cross-sectional study design it was associated with shorter axial length and higher estimated cerebrospinal fluid pressure.

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.
