TLDR
This study suggests that measurement of grip strength is a simple, inexpensive risk-stratifying method for all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and cardiovascular disease.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Fitness and Grip Strength With Heart Failure: Findings From the UK Biobank Population-Based Study.

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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of handgrip strength with various oral functions in 82- to 84-year-old community-dwelling Japanese

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

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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the measurement of grip strength in clinical and epidemiological studies: towards a standardised approach

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