TL;DR: Reference HGS ranges for healthy adults from a broad range of ethnicities and socioeconomically diverse geographic regions are developed to develop reference HGS values in non‐Caucasian populations from low‐ or middle‐income countries.

Physical activity and exercise: Strategies to manage frailty.
TL;DR: Physical activity/exercise is considered one of the main strategies to counteract frailty-related physical impairment in the elderly and should be prescribed based on an individual's physical functioning and adapted to the ensuing response.

The role of lipid metabolism in aging, lifespan regulation, and age‐related disease
TL;DR: The data suggest that lipid‐related interventions may improve human healthspan and that blood lipids likely represent a rich source of human aging biomarkers.

Prioritizing Functional Capacity as a Principal End Point for Therapies Oriented to Older Adults With Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association
Daniel E. Forman,Ross Arena,Rebecca S. Boxer,Mary A. Dolansky,Janice J. Eng,Jerome L. Fleg,Mark J. Haykowsky,Arshad Jahangir,Leonard A. Kaminsky,Dalane W. Kitzman,Eldrin F. Lewis,Jonathan Myers,Gordon R. Reeves,Win-Kuang Shen +13 more
TL;DR: The essential physiology underlying functional capacity on systemic, organ, and cellular levels is reviewed, as well as critical clinical skills to measure multiple realms of function (eg, aerobic, strength, balance, and even cognition) that are particularly relevant for older patients.

Associations of Relative Handgrip Strength and Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers in U.S. Adults, 2011–2012

TL;DR: Relative grip strength, which both adjusts for the confounding of mass and assesses concomitant health risks of increased body size and low muscle strength, may be a useful public health measure of muscle strength.

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.

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.
