TL;DR: Physical performance was associated with MCI in diabetic hemodialysis patients rather than the non-diabetes group, and further analysis showed that TUGT was negatively associated with attention and calculation and language in diabetes patients, while WS was positively associated with recall and language on the Chinese version of the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination.

Scientometrics: a need for physical therapy
TL;DR: In this paper, the quality and quantity of scientific material is expected to be measured and analyzed on the basis of scientific measures, which is called scientometrics, due to the emergence of new science called scientometric, the authors have made possible the reach of data to all the academicians/ researchers.

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Outdoor Fitness Equipment Intervention in Achieving Fitness Goals for Seniors
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors designed an outdoor fitness equipment (OFE) training protocol incorporating four modalities of PA: endurance (air walker and ski machine), resistance (rowing machine and bonny rider), flexibility (arm stretch and shoulder wheel), and balance exercise (waist twister).

The Associations between Upper and Lower Body Muscle Strength and Diabetes among Midlife Women
B. W. Wong,Win Pa Pa Thu,Yiong Huak Chan,Michael Kramer,Susan Logan,Jane A. Cauley,Eu Leong Yong +6 more
TL;DR: The combination of both upper and lower body muscle strength into a composite MSI was more strongly associated with diabetes than either weak HGS or prolonged RCS alone in midlife women.

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.
