Sarcopenia in chronic kidney disease: what have we learned so far?

TL;DR: Differences in conceptual definition of sarcopenia in the elderly and in CKD are discussed, as well as etiology of sarc Openia, prevalence, outcome, and interventions that attempted to reverse the loss of muscle mass, strength and mobility in CKd and ESKD patients are described.

Body Composition Changes After Very-Low-Calorie Ketogenic Diet in Obesity Evaluated by 3 Standardized Methods

TL;DR: The very-low-calorie ketogenic (VLCK) diet-induced changes in body composition of obese patients were evaluated and a strong correlation was evidenced between the 3 methods of assessing body composition.

Association of Grip Strength With Risk of All-Cause Mortality, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Cancer in Community-Dwelling Populations: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies

TL;DR: Grip strength was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular diseases in community-dwelling populations and did not differ by sex, and remained after excluding participants with cardiovascular diseases or cancer at baseline.

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.

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.
