TL;DR: Low ASMI is independently associated with poor outcome in patients with STEMI, and the optimal cutoff point of ASMI for predicting primary composite outcome was 6.75 kg/m2, which was close to its first quartile value.

Zi Chen,Mandy Ho,Pui Hing Chau +2 more
TL;DR: Investigation of whether handgrip strength (HGS) asymmetry was associated with the incidence of neurodegenerative disorders among Chinese older adults found no link.

TL;DR: Urinary L-FABP levels were inversely correlated with both peak oxygen consumption and grip strength in middle-aged and older individuals without chronic kidney disease, providing a novel insight into the underlying mechanism linking the decline in exercise capacity to the development of renal dysfunction.

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.
