- Hand‐Grip Dynamometry Predicts Future Outcomes in Aging Adults (2008, methodology): “Metter et al (2002)6 Noninstitutionalized Mexican-Americans (2488): ≥65 yr 5 yr Maximum right grip strength (measured with Jamar dynamometer) associated with death.”
- 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.”
- The underappreciated role of muscle in health and disease. (2006, background): “For example, in a longitudinal study of 1071 men, lower and declining strength was most closely associated with survival (64).”
- Sarcopenia: an undiagnosed condition in older adults. Current consensus definition: prevalence, etiology, and consequences. International working group on sarcopenia. (2011, background): “Sarcopenia has also been associated with increased mortality (78), although (79) weakness has been demonstrated to be a more powerful predictor of mortality in elderly people than muscle mass.”
- Effects of aerobic and resistance exercise in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant chemotherapy: a multicenter randomized controlled trial. (2007, background): “In other populations, muscular strength is associated with improved physical functioning, reduced mobility limitations and lower risk of falling,(23,31,32) and lower mortality.(33) Neither exercise intervention prevented weight gain, but each altered body composition as hypothesized.”
- Sarcopenia, Dynapenia, and the Impact of Advancing Age on Human Skeletal Muscle Size and Strength; a Quantitative Review (2012, background): “Progressive increases in mortality amongst men aged >60 years have been observed between quartiles when ranked by hand grip, an effect that remained significant even after adjustment for total muscle mass as calculated by 24 h creatinine excretion (Metter et al., 2002).”
