Journal ArticleDOI
A unifying framework for the study of population aging
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an integrative approach that allows for the study of numerous dimensions of aging within a unified framework, based on the translation of quantitative measures of people's characteristics into a new form of age measure, called alpha-age.

Temporal Trends in the Handgrip Strength of 2,592,714 Adults from 14 Countries Between 1960 and 2017: A Systematic Analysis
Trevor J. Dufner,John S. Fitzgerald,Justin J. Lang,Justin J. Lang,Grant R. Tomkinson,Grant R. Tomkinson +5 more
TL;DR: Adult HGS appears to have declined since 2000 (at least among most of the countries in this analysis), which is suggestive of corresponding declines in functional capability and health.

Randomised controlled trial examining the effect of an outpatient exercise training programme on haemodynamics and cardiac MR parameters of right ventricular function in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: the ExPAH study protocol.
Karen S. W. Chia,Steven G Faux,Peter K. K. Wong,Cameron J. Holloway,Cameron J. Holloway,Hassan Assareh,Craig S. McLachlan,Eugene Kotlyar,Eugene Kotlyar +8 more
TL;DR: This randomised controlled trial involves both a major urban tertiary and smaller regional hospital in New South Wales, Australia and will compare an outpatient rehabilitation programme with a control group (home exercise programme).

Chasing the top quartile of cross-sectional data: Is it possible with resistance training?
Samuel L. Buckner,Scott J. Dankel,J. Grant Mouser,Kevin T. Mattocks,Matthew B. Jessee,Jeremy P. Loenneke +5 more
TL;DR: The "human baseline hypothesis" is presented, which proposes that the baseline value of strength that a person possesses prior to training may be a more appropriate indicator regarding long-term health outcomes than the act of training itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Body Shape Index (ABSI) with Hand Grip Strength
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined correlations between grip strength, a body shape index (ABSI), and body mass index (BMI) in the 2011-2014 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohorts.

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.

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.
