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.

Grip strength and mortality: a biomarker of ageing?

TL;DR: It is shown that grip strength predicts not only all-cause mortality but also cardiovascular mortality, non-cardiovascular mortality, and cardiovascular disease occurrence across a range of country and income settings and raises important questions about risk prediction and why these cause-specifi c associations exist.

Health Consequences of Sarcopenic Obesity: A Narrative Review.

TL;DR: The effect of sarcopenic obesity on multiple health outcomes and its role as a predictor of these outcomes based on the components of sarc Openia, including muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The association between physical activity and risk of mortality is modulated by grip strength and cardiorespiratory fitness: evidence from 498 135 UK-Biobank participants.

TL;DR: The association between physical activity and mortality is strongest in those with the lowest strength, and the lowest CRF, suggesting that these sub-groups could benefit most from interventions to increase physical activity.

Sarcopenia: prevalence, associated factors, and the risk of mortality and disability in Japanese older adults

TL;DR: This study aimed to clarify the prevalence, associated factors, and the magnitude of association with mortality and incident disability for sarcopenia and combinations of its components among Japanese community‐dwelling older adults.

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.
