Age-related normative values for handgrip strength and grip strength's usefulness as a predictor of mortality and both cognitive and physical decline in older adults in northwest Russia.
TL;DR: Age- and sex-specific reference values for grip strength in the 65+ Russian population derived from a prospective cohort study can be used in clinical practice to identify patients at increased risk for adverse outcomes.

Daisuke Makiura,Rei Ono,Junichiro Inoue,Akimasa Fukuta,Miyuki Kashiwa,Yasushi Miura,Yasushi Miura,Taro Oshikiri,Tetsu Nakamura,Yoshihiro Kakeji,Yoshitada Sakai +10 more
TL;DR: Assessment of sarcopenia could help to identify patients at higher risk of a poor prognosis after esophagectomy and was a significant predictor of OS after adjustment for age, sex, and pathological stage.

TL;DR: This is the first study shows that increased GS is independently associated with lower prevalence of NAFLD, and the relationship between the quartiles of GS per body weight and the prevalence ofNAFLD.

Serum Leptin Concentration is Associated with Incident Frailty in Older Adults.
Alberto Lana,Ana Valdés-Bécares,Antonio Buño,Fernando Rodríguez-Artalejo,Esther Lopez-Garcia +4 more
TL;DR: Higher leptin concentration was associated with greater risk of frailty in older adults, and this association was only modestly explained by insulin resistance and chronic inflammation, as measured by CRP.

Claire E. Welsh,Carlos Celis-Morales,Frederick K. Ho,Rosemary Brown,Daniel F. Mackay,Donald M. Lyall,Jana Anderson,Jill P. Pell,Jason M.R. Gill,Naveed Sattar,Paul Welsh,Stuart R. Gray +11 more
TL;DR: The present study has found that the addition of grip strength or usual walking pace to existing risk scores results in improved CVD risk prediction, with an additive effect when both are added.

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.
