Association of handgrip strength with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in US adults: the national health and nutrition examination survey.
TL;DR: Findings of this study suggest that a strong relationship exists between handgrip strength and prevalence of MetS in US adults, regardless of sex.

TL;DR: In older adults, muscle-strengthening exercises may decrease the risk of falling, and increased muscular strength is associated with a reduced risk of falls in older age after adjustment for age and gender.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lack of Association Between Vitamin D and Hand Grip Strength in Asians: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
TL;DR: Clinical evidence is provided that protective role of vitamin D on human muscle metabolism may not be evident at least in older Asians, and there was no independent association of serum 25(OH)D with the risk of low muscle strength in both genders.
Journal ArticleDOI
Link between blood flow and muscle protein metabolism in elderly adults
TL;DR: A possible role for blood flow in skeletal muscle protein metabolism in elderly adults and the regulation of blood flow may prove to be a beneficial treatment for sarcopenia is discussed.

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.

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.
