Hand grip strength and ocular associations: the Ural Eye and Medical Study
Mukharram M. Bikbov,Rinat M. Zainullin,Timur R. Gilmanshin,E. M. Iakupova,Gyulli M. Kazakbaeva,Songhomitra Panda-Jonas,Azaliia M. Tuliakova,Albina A Fakhretdinova,L. I. Gilemzianova,Jost B. Jonas +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explored the associations between hand grip strength (HGS) and ocular parameters and diseases and found that a reduced HGS is associated with visual impairment, shorter axial length, lower intraocular pressure, thinner peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer and higher prevalence of diabetic retinopathy.

Blood Flow Restriction Training for the Intervention of Sarcopenia: Current Stage and Future Perspective
TL;DR: As a well-tolerated and novel form of exercise, BFRT offers more potential in treating sarcopenia and involves deeper insights into the function and regulation of skeletal muscle.

Risk of sarcopenia among older persons with Type 2 diabetes mellitus with different status of albuminuria: A dose-responsive association
Ching Jen Chang,Chih Hsueh Lin,Hui Min Hsieh,Wen Yann Lo,Yen Hsun Lai,Li Ning Peng,Li Ning Peng,Liang Kung Chen +7 more
TL;DR: Albuminuria status was dose-responsively associated with sarcopenia among older persons with T2DM, and the risk started to escalate from minimal albuminuria, which was lower than the conventionally definition of microalbuminuria (<30 mg/g).

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.
