TL;DR: Two-thirds of men with prostate cancer is at high cardiovascular risk; there is a positive association between a plan to use ADT and baseline cardiovascular risk factors; however, this association is explained by confounding factors.

Associations of Grip Strength and Change in Grip Strength With All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in a European Older Population.
TL;DR: Grip strength is a significant indicator of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and the combination of grip strength and its change can be used to increase the accuracy for prediction ofall-cause mortality among older persons.

Frailty in Advanced Heart Failure.
TL;DR: The limited data available to date suggest that frailty is highly prevalent in patients with advanced HF and appears to provide prognostic information not captured by traditional risk assessment.

Association of muscle strength with cardiovascular risk in Korean adults: Findings from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) VI to VII (2014-2016).
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that increased handgrip is associated with a lower degree of cardiovascular risk in both men and women and longitudinal studies are needed to examine the association between muscle strength and cardiovascular risk.

Mechanisms Involved in Follistatin-Induced Hypertrophy and Increased Insulin Action in Skeletal Muscle
Xiuqing Han,Lisbeth L. V. Møller,Estelle De Groote,Kirstine N. Bojsen-Møller,Jonathan R. Davey,Carlos Henríquez-Olguín,Zhencheng Li,Jonas R. Knudsen,Thomas E. Jensen,Sten Madsbad,Paul Gregorevic,Erik A. Richter,Lykke Sylow +12 more
TL;DR: A major regulator of muscle mass is the transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) superfamily, including activin A, which causes atrophy, and whether this pathway contributes to insulin action remains to be determined.

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.

TL;DR: A standardised method of measuring grip strength would enable more consistent measurement of grip strength and better assessment of sarcopenia.

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.
