Differential relationship of uric acid to mortality and clinical biomarkers of aging according to grip strength in older adults: a cohort study.
Sin-Mei Guo,Yen-Tze Liu,Yen-Tze Liu,Sin-Ru He,Ming-Shiang Wu,Wei-Ting Tseng,Ray-Chin Wu,I-Chien Wu,I-Chien Wu +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated serum uric acid's association with mortality and aging biomarkers in older adults with varying levels of grip strength and observed a significant (P <.001) interaction between Uric acid levels and grip strength on all-cause mortality risk.

Can maximal handgrip strength and endurance be improved by an 8-week specialized strength training program in older women? A randomized controlled study.
TL;DR: The results of this study showed that an 8-week specialized handgrip strength training program can be used effectively by athletic trainers, physical and hand therapists to counteract the detrimental effects of the aging process on maximal handGrip strength and endurance in older adults.

Association Between Reduced Handgrip Strength and Commonly Prescribed Medications
TL;DR: Several specific medications, mostly cardiovascular drug classes, were associated with reduced handgrip-strength and Statins, ACE-inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, calcium channel blockers, and sulfonylureas showed a consistent and significant decrease in grip strength in linear regression models.

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.

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.
