- Strength, but not muscle mass, is associated with mortality in the health, aging and body composition study cohort. (2006, background): “Previous studies have examined only men (1,2), or women (3); most have examined only grip strength, and none has adjusted for direct quantification of muscle area or lean mass as measures of sarcopenia.”
- Skeletal muscle strength as a predictor of all-cause mortality in healthy men. (2002, methodology): “Rantanen and colleagues (12) found, in middle-aged men, that grip strength is an independent risk factor when stratifying based on body weight with a RR of 1.”
- Hand‐Grip Dynamometry Predicts Future Outcomes in Aging Adults (2008, background): “Rantanen et al (2000)8 Patients undergoing surgery for cancer (95): 42-88 yr Postoperative Maximum grip strength of nondominant hand (measured with “single spring” dynamometer) predictive of mortality.”
