TL;DR: Muscle strength is inversely associated with MetS and its separate components and is observed to be negatively associated with separate components of MetS both in men and women.

Handgrip Strength and Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) Test are Predictors of Short-Term Mortality among Elderly in a Population-Based Cohort in Singapore
TL;DR: Among elderly in a Chinese population, handgrip strength and TUG test were strong and independent predictors of short-term mortality.

The Associations of Muscle Strength, Muscle Mass, and Adiposity With Clinical Outcomes and Quality of Life in Prevalent Kidney Transplant Recipients
Winnie Chan,Winnie Chan,Shui Hao Chin,Anna C. Whittaker,David A. Jones,Okdeep Kaur,Jos A. Bosch,Richard Borrows +7 more
TL;DR: Low muscle strength is common among KTRs, conferring poor prognosis in the medium term, and future research on strength training may prove valuable in improving kidney transplantation outcomes.

Handgrip Strength, Function, and Mortality in Older Adults: A Time-varying Approach.
Ryan McGrath,Ryan McGrath,Brenda M. Vincent,I-Min Lee,I-Min Lee,William J. Kraemer,Mark D. Peterson +6 more
TL;DR: Decreased handgrip strength was associated with increased odds for each ADL limitation, and in turn, most individual ADL impairments were associated with a higher hazard for mortality in older adults.

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.
