TL;DR: The grip strength of sport university students significantly declined between the 1980s and 1990s, and it has plateaued since 2000, albeit at low levels, according to a study of the Juntendo Fitness Plus Study.

Descriptive study of hand grip strength and factors associated with it in a group of young undergraduate students in university of peradeniya, sri lanka who are not participating in regular physical training
Piumi Nakandala,Jinali Manchanayake,Janeesha Narampanawa,Thirunavukarasu Neeraja,Sivanolipathan Pavithra,Mohamed Mafahir,Jayampathy Dissanayake +6 more
TL;DR: An insight is provided into the association of low HGS with physical inactivity in an academically oriented group where the BMI is within the normal range and the Association of higher H GS with hand dominance and male gender.
Journal ArticleDOI
Car Accidents Associated with Physical Frailty and Cognitive Impairment.
TL;DR: This study examines the association between car accidents, frailty, and cognitive function, owing to an increase in car accidents related to older adults and its findings contribute to enhancing the utility of risk assessments for older drivers.

Grip strength in men and women aged 50–79 years is associated with non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture during 15 years follow-up: The Tromsø Study 1994–1995

TL;DR: The risk of non-vertebral osteoporotic fracture increased with declining grip-strength in both genders, particularly in men aged 50–64 years, and the association was most pronounced inMen aged 50-64 years with HR = 3.39 (95% CI 1.76–6.53) in the lower compared to the upper quintile.
Journal Article
Forearm muscle quality as a better indicator of physical performance than handgrip strength in older male ground golf players aged 70 to 89.
TL;DR: It is suggested that forearm muscle quality (HGS/MT-ulna) may be a stronger predictor of physical performance than absolute HGS in active old men.

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.

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.
