OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between strength, function, lean mass, muscle
density, and risk of hospitalization. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Two US …

Objective Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in hospitalized older patients and associated with
short-term mortality. This study aimed to investigate whether sarcopenia and its measures …

Objectives To evaluate the predictive value of muscle strength and physical performance in
the oldest old for all‐cause mortality; hospitalization; and the onset of disability, defined as a …

Aim The most appropriate muscle index for the definition of sarcopenia has not been agreed
on. We aimed to investigate the associations of muscle mass and strength with 5‐year …

Background. Although muscle strength and mass are highly correlated, the relationship
between direct measures of low muscle mass (sarcopenia) and strength in association with …

OBJECTIVES Analyses performed by the Sarcopenia Definitions and Outcomes Consortium
(SDOC) identified cut‐points in several metrics of grip strength for consideration in a …

Background The loss of skeletal muscle mass (MM) or muscle function (MF) alone increases
the risk for losing physical independence in older adults. We aimed to examine the …

Background Loss of muscle mass and muscle strength are natural consequences of the
aging process, accompanied by an increased prevalence of chronic health conditions …

OBJECTIVES: To empirically identify groupings of strength, physical performance, adiposity,
and lean mass and test how such groupings of these interrelated measures may relate to …

Methods We aimed to prospectively examine individual and joint associations of low muscle
mass and low muscle strength with all-cause mortality in a nationally representative sample …
