Anying Bai,Anying Bai,Weihao Xu,Jing Sun,Juan Liu,Xinli Deng,Linna Wu,Xiao Zou,Jing Zuo,Lin Zou,Yunxia Liu,Hengge Xie,Xiaohong Zhang,Li Fan,Yixin Hu +14 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the associations of sarcopenia and its defining components with cognitive function in community-dwelling oldest old (over 80 years old) in China.

TL;DR: Tackling early-life risk factors in women could promote long-term grip strength, a biomarker of aging, when adjusting for socioeconomic circumstances and unhealthy behaviors in adulthood.

Prevalence of posttraumatic arthritis following distal radius fractures in non-osteoporotic patients and the association with radiological measurements, clinician and patient-reported outcomes
TL;DR: Non-osteoporotic patients following DRFs had a considerably high prevalence of posttraumatic arthritis, despite a relatively short follow-up time, and insight into employment changes after DRF in non-ostooporosis patients was gained.

Dysmobility Syndrome and Risk of Mortality for Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Older Adults: The Nexus of Aging and Body Composition
Wei Ju Lee,Wei Ju Lee,Li Kuo Liu,Li Kuo Liu,An Chun Hwang,An Chun Hwang,Li Ning Peng,Li Ning Peng,Ming Hsien Lin,Ming Hsien Lin,Liang Kung Chen,Liang Kung Chen +11 more
TL;DR: The modified operational definition of dysmobility syndrome in Asian populations using FNIH-adjusted skeletal muscle mass and waist circumference-defined adiposity may be the most optimal model for mortality prediction.

Coenzyme Q10 Status as a Determinant of Muscular Strength in Two Independent Cohorts.
Alexandra Fischer,Simone Onur,Petra Niklowitz,Thomas Menke,Matthias Laudes,Gerald Rimbach,Frank Döring +6 more
TL;DR: Both a low CoQ10/cholesterol level and a low percentage of the reduced form of Coq10 could be an indicator of an increased risk of sarcopenia in humans due to their negative associations to upper body muscle strength, peak flow and muscle mass.

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.

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.

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

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.
