Predicting Age Using Neuroimaging: Innovative Brain Ageing Biomarkers.
James H. Cole,Katja Franke +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence supporting the use of neuroimaging-based 'brain age' as a biomarker of an individual's brain health is presented and controversies surrounding brain age are discussed.

Resistance Training for Older Adults: Position Statement From the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Maren S. Fragala,Eduardo Lusa Cadore,Sandor Dorgo,Mikel Izquierdo,William J. Kraemer,Mark D. Peterson,Eric D. Ryan +6 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided to support recommendations for successful resistance training in older adults related to 4 parts: program design variables, physiological adaptations, functional benefits, and considerations for frailty, sarcopenia, and other chronic conditions.

Brain age predicts mortality
James H. Cole,Stuart J. Ritchie,Mark E. Bastin,M C Valdés Hernández,S. Muñoz Maniega,Natalie A. Royle,Janie Corley,Alison Pattie,Sarah E. Harris,Qian Zhang,Naomi R. Wray,Paul Redmond,Riccardo E. Marioni,Riccardo E. Marioni,John M. Starr,Simon R. Cox,Joanna M. Wardlaw,David J. Sharp,Ian J. Deary +18 more
TL;DR: This study introduces a clinically-relevant neuroimaging ageing biomarker ‘brain-predicted age’ and demonstrates that combining distinct measurements of biological ageing further helps to determine risk of age-related deterioration and death.

Role of Inactivity in Chronic Diseases: Evolutionary Insight and Pathophysiological Mechanisms
Frank W. Booth,Christian K. Roberts,John P. Thyfault,Gregory N. Ruegsegger,Ryan G. Toedebusch +4 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that physical inactivity could be considered a behavior selected by evolution for resting, and also selected to be reinforcing in life-threatening situations in which exercise would be dangerous.

Associations of grip strength with cardiovascular, respiratory, and cancer outcomes and all cause mortality: prospective cohort study of half a million UK Biobank participants
Carlos Celis-Morales,Paul Welsh,Donald M. Lyall,Lewis Steell,Fanny Petermann,Jana Anderson,Stamatina Iliodromiti,Anne Sillars,Nicholas Graham,Daniel F. Mackay,Jill P. Pell,Jason M.R. Gill,Naveed Sattar,Stuart R. Gray +13 more
TL;DR: The addition of handgrip strength improved the prediction ability of an office based risk score (age, sex, diabetes diagnosed, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and smoking) for all cause and cardiovascular mortality and incidence of cardiovascular disease.

International physical activity questionnaire: 12-country reliability and validity
Cora L Craig,Alison L. Marshall,Michael Sjöström,Adrian Bauman,Michael L. Booth,Barbara E. Ainsworth,Michael Pratt,Ulf Ekelund,Agneta Yngve,James F. Sallis,Pekka Oja +10 more
TL;DR: Considering the diverse samples in this study, IPAQ has reasonable measurement properties for monitoring population levels of physical activity among 18- to 65-yr-old adults in diverse settings.

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.
