Overweight or Obesity, Gender, and Age Influence on High School Students of the City of Toluca’s Physical Fitness
Flor de Maria Cruz Estrada,Patricia Tlatempa Sotelo,Roxana Valdés-Ramos,José Aldo Hernández Murúa,Rafael Manjarrez-Montes-de-Oca +4 more
TL;DR: It is likely that regular physical activity, and not normal weight, helps generate healthy physical fitness, as male subjects had a higher mean than women, reporting a better physical fitness and more frequent physical activity.

Epigenome-wide exploratory study of monozygotic twins suggests differentially methylated regions to associate with hand grip strength
Mette Soerensen,Weilong Li,Birgit Debrabant,Marianne Nygaard,Marianne Nygaard,Jonas Mengel-From,Jonas Mengel-From,Morten Frost,Kaare Christensen,Kaare Christensen,Lene Christiansen,Lene Christiansen,Qihua Tan,Qihua Tan +13 more
TL;DR: This exploratory study suggests hand grip strength to associate with differentially methylated regions enriched in immunological and cell differentiation pathways, and hence merits further investigations.

Relevance of physical function in the association of red and processed meat intake with all–cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality
Stavroula Argyridou,Stavroula Argyridou,Francesco Zaccardi,Melanie J. Davies,Kamlesh Khunti,Thomas Yates +5 more
TL;DR: The known risk of mortality associated with red and processed meat consumption may be lower in those with high physical function, with brisk walkers having the lowest risk per additional serving for all-cause and cancer mortality.

Clark,Jeanie L.Y. Cheong,Jeanie L.Y. Cheong,Lex W. Doyle,Jennifer L. McGinley,Alicia J Spittle,Alicia J Spittle,Alicia J Spittle +17 more
TL;DR: For example, this paper found that children born <30 weeks of gestation have more motor impairment than children born at term (37-42 weeks gestation), but reported outcomes have largely focused on cerebral palsy and developmental coordination disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Fish Oil Consumption with Resistance Training Improves Grip Strength, Physical Function, and Blood Pressure in Community-Dwelling Older Adults.
TL;DR: Investigation of FO supplementation during 12-weeks of RT enhanced strength and physical function, while FO consumption combined with RT improved BP in community-dwelling older adults.

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.
