Association of walking pace and handgrip strength with all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality : a UK Biobank observational study
Thomas Yates,Thomas Yates,Francesco Zaccardi,Nafeesa N. Dhalwani,Melanie J. Davies,Melanie J. Davies,Kishan Bakrania,Carlos Celis-Morales,Jason M.R. Gill,Paul W. Franks,Paul W. Franks,Kamlesh Khunti,Kamlesh Khunti +12 more
TL;DR: A simple self-reported measure of slow walking pace could aid risk stratification for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality within the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Eun Roh,Kyung Mook Choi +1 more
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.
Carlos Celis-Morales,Donald M. Lyall,Jana Anderson,Stamatina Iliodromiti,Yu Fan,U. E. Ntuk,Daniel F. Mackay,Jill P. Pell,Naveed Sattar,Jason M.R. Gill +9 more
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.

TL;DR: Considering the diverse samples in this study, IPAQ has reasonable measurement properties for monitoring population levels of physical activity among 18- to 65-yr-old adults in diverse settings.

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
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.
