There is a growing body of evidence that links nutrition to muscle mass, strength and
function in older adults, suggesting that it has an important role to play both in the prevention …

The increasing recognition of sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and
function (muscle strength and physical performance), as a determinant of poor health in …

Background Hand-grip strength is an indicator of overall strength and a predictor of
important outcomes. Up-to-date, population-specific reference values for measurements of …

Objective To establish reference values for hand grip strength (HGS) in a healthy Korean
population and to identify the dependent anthropometric variables that affect HGS. Methods …

Aim This study was aimed to set reference values of hand-grip strength by age and sex and
validate cut points for risk of functional limitation and mortality in older Chileans. Methods …

Objective To investigate the effect of grip strength on bone mineral density (BMD) in
postmenopausal women. Low BMD is related to risk of fracture and falling is the strongest …

DXA-measured lean mass is often used to assess muscle mass but has limitations. Thus, we
compared DXA lean mass with two novel methods—bioelectric impedance spectroscopy …
