Reference values for handgrip strength: data from the Tianjin Chronic Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation and Health (TCLSIH) cohort study.

TL;DR: The HGS reached peak at 40 years old, maintained or slightly lowered between ages 40 and50 and then start an accelerated decline after 50 years old, which can be largely explained by sex, age, height and weight.

Prefrailty, impairment in physical function, and risk of incident heart failure among older adults

TL;DR: In this article, the association between prefrailty and the risk of heart failure among older adults was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models, and the authors highlighted the potential role of routine assessment of geriatric syndromes for early identification of HF risk.

Hand grip strength is associated with cardiopulmonary function in Chinese adults: Results from a cross-sectional study

TL;DR: It is suggested that greater HGS was associated with favorable cardiopulmonary function in Chinese adults, thus HGS might be an indicator of cardiopULmonary function.

Supply and demand of high quality protein foods in India: Trends and opportunities

TL;DR: In this article, simulations were performed to assess the likely additional requirements of quality protein sources in the context of environmental stressors in India and found that policymakers need to pay much more attention to the drivers of protein supply via pulses and milk, whose demand is expected to rise sharply.

A Proportional Hazards Model for the Subdistribution of a Competing Risk

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

TL;DR: A standardised method of measuring grip strength would enable more consistent measurement of grip strength and better assessment of sarcopenia.
