Mortality After Atypical Femoral Fractures: A Cohort Study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that in contrast to ordinary subtrochanteric and femoral shaft fractures, atypical femoral fractures are not associated with excess mortality.

Association between muscle strength and advanced fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a Korean nationwide survey
Sunyoung Kang,Sunyoung Kang,Min Kyong Moon,Min Kyong Moon,Won Kim,Won Kim,Bo Kyung Koo,Bo Kyung Koo +7 more
TL;DR: The association between muscle strength and the prevalence of advanced fibrosis among individuals with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using a nationwide cross‐sectional survey is investigated.

Testosterone Deficiency, Weakness, and Multimorbidity in Men.
TL;DR: Low TT and weakness in men were independently associated with multimorbidity at all ages; however, multimor bidity was more prevalent among young and older men with testosterone deficiency.

TL;DR: Elastic band resistance training could be safely used to improve muscle quality even in old people with impaired health status, and weak and chronically ill participants benefit most from this training.

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.
