The FNIH Sarcopenia Project: Rationale, Study Description, Conference Recommendations, and Final Estimates (2014, background): “entirely consistent, the weight of evidence in communitydwelling older adults suggests that (i) low muscle mass is associated with weakness (3), (ii) weakness (now often referred to as “dynapenia”) (4) is strongly associated with function and disability (5,6), but (iii) low muscle mass alone is weak”
Dynapenia and aging: an update. (2012, background): “However, both grip and knee extensor muscle strength was highly associated with mortality, despite accounting for muscle mass, suggesting that sarcopenia may be secondary to the effects of dynapenia (6).”
Sarcopenia: Its assessment, etiology, pathogenesis, consequences and future perspectives (2008, background): “Muscle strength is also associated with lower mortality in the Health ABC study (238).”
Age-Related Diseases and Clinical and Public Health Implications for the 85 Years Old and Over Population (2017, background): “Muscle weakness (13) and rapid rate of strength decline (14) both predict future mortality.”
Quadriceps strength predicts mortality in patients with moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2006, background): “The endpoint measured was death or lung transplantation and median (range) follow up was 38 (1-54) months.”
Hand‐Grip Dynamometry Predicts Future Outcomes in Aging Adults (2008, background): “Newman et al (2006)4 Health-promotion center visitors (4056): ≥40 yr Mean 6 .1 yr Less than standard grip strength (mean of left & right, measured with undesignated dynamometer) predictive of death in men (relative risk = 1.92) but not in women (relative risk = .84) Fujita et al (1995)5 Healthy men…”

The loss of skeletal muscle strength, mass, and quality in older adults: the health, aging and body composition study. (2006, background): “The mortality rate in this cohort was more than 2-fold higher in the lowest quartiles of baseline strength than in the highest quartile (5).”
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.”
