Impact of handgrip strength on cardiovascular, cancer and all-cause mortality in the Korean longitudinal study of ageing.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that lower handgrip strength is an independent predictor of mortality among a population-based sample of Korean elderly; highlighting the importance of interventions targeted at enhancing muscle strength for improvements in survival at older ages.

TL;DR: The data indicate that objective measurements of physical function (GS and CRF) are strongly and independently associated with lower HF incidence, and future studies targeting improving CRF and muscle strength should include HF as an outcome to assess whether these results are causal.

Effect of diet‐induced weight loss on muscle strength in adults with overweight or obesity – a systematic review and meta‐analysis of clinical trials
Jessica Zibellini,Radhika V. Seimon,Crystal Man Ying Lee,Alice A. Gibson,Michelle S. H. Hsu,Amanda Sainsbury +5 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest a potential adverse effect of diet‐induced weight loss on muscle strength in adults with overweight or obesity and call for strategies to combat strength loss – such as weight training and other exercises – during diet‐ induced weight loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association between blood pressure and grip strength in adolescents: does body mass index matter?
TL;DR: Questions are raised about using muscle-strengthening training as an approach to improve the BP profile in adolescents after it was found that strong grip strength was associated with increased adolescent BP after adjustment for BMI.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis revealed that handgrip strength was correlated with not only the maximal occlusal force, masticatory performance and tongue pressure but also the RSST score and mouth-opening distance after adjustment for sex, number of teeth, use of removable denture, periodontal condition, instrumental activities of daily living, body mass index.

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.
