Association of hand grip strength with disease activity, disability and quality of life in children and adolescents with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
TL;DR: Assessment of HGS could be a simple non-invasive tool for assessing disease activity, disability, and quality of life in JIA patients in clinical practice.

Handgrip strength and all‐cause dementia incidence and mortality: findings from the UK Biobank prospective cohort study
Irene Esteban-Cornejo,Frederick K. Ho,Fanny Petermann-Rocha,Donald M. Lyall,David Martínez-Gómez,Verónica Cabanas-Sánchez,Francisco B. Ortega,Charles H. Hillman,Jason M.R. Gill,Terence J. Quinn,Naveed Sattar,Jill P. Pell,Stuart R. Gray,Carlos Celis-Morales +13 more
TL;DR: Lower grip strength was associated with a higher risk of all-cause dementia incidence and mortality, independently of important confounding factors, and did not differ by lifestyle or sociodemographic factors.

Towards Personalized Management of Sarcopenia in COPD.
TL;DR: Sarcopenia is defined as gradual loss of muscle mass and strength and ultimately loss of physical performance associated with aging and chronic disease as mentioned in this paper. But sarcopenia in COPD can be assessed according to current guidelines, but during physical performance testing, ventilatory limitation should be considered.

Birth weight and grip strength in young Swedish males: a longitudinal matched sibling analysis and across all body mass index ranges
Viktor H. Ahlqvist,Margareta Persson,Francisco B. Ortega,Francisco B. Ortega,Per Tynelius,Per Tynelius,Cecilia Magnusson,Cecilia Magnusson,Daniel Berglind,Daniel Berglind +9 more
TL;DR: Birth weight, within the at-term range, is robustly positively associated with grip strength in young adulthood among men across all BMI categories and associations appears to be mainly driven by factors that are not shared between siblings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the associations of absolute and relative grip strength with incident Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and whether these associations differ by sociodemographic, lifestyle and adiposity-related factors.

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

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.
