Longitudinal Associations Between Household Solid Fuel Use and Handgrip Strength in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese Individuals: The China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study
TL;DR: Using household solid fuel for cooking but not heating was associated with more decreases in HGS, and proper ventilation and clean fuel should be promoted for public health.

Saltwater fish but not freshwater fish consumption is positively related to handgrip strength: The TCLSIH Cohort Study.
Hongmei Wu,Qing Zhang,Li Liu,Ge Meng,Yeqing Gu,Zhanxin Yao,Shunming Zhang,Yawen Wang,Tingjing Zhang,Xuena Wang,Xing Wang,Shaomei Sun,Qiyu Jia,Kun Song,Kaijun Niu +14 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used a handheld digital dynamometer to measure hand-grip strength (HGS) and found that fish consumption might improve muscle strength. But, they did not examine the relationship between fish consumption and HGS.

Longevity interventions temporally scale healthspan in Caenorhabditis elegans
TL;DR: In this article, a microfluidic device that employs acoustophoretic force fields to quantify the maximum muscle strength and dynamic power in aging C. elegans was used to find a stochastic onset of morbidity, starting with a decline of stress resilience, dynamic muscle power and structural integrity, culminating frailty.

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.
