Aims/hypothesis The study aimed to quantitatively summarise the dose–response
relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength on the one hand and …

Aims Evolving debate suggests that handgrip strength (HGS), a measure of muscular
strength, might be associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, the evidence is …

Background Whilst skeletal muscles' primary role is allowing movement, it has important
metabolic roles, including in glycemic control. Indeed, evidence indicates that low muscle …

Background The relationship between frailty and dementia is unclear and there are very few
population-based studies regarding this issue in China. The purpose of this study is to …

The current study aims to investigate the combined association of walking pace and grip
strength with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). A total of 205 738 participants (mean age …

Background: The association between decline in handgrip strength from midlife to late life
and dementia is unclear. Methods: Japanese community-dwellers without dementia aged 60 …

Introduction Hand grip strength (HGS) has been determined as a simple and cost effective
method for evaluating overall skeletal muscle strength and quality. It has been used in …

Conventional risk factors for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes such as obesity do not
completely explain the higher prevalence of prediabetes; therefore, research to investigate …

Previous cohort study reported that high physical activity was associated with a low risk of
self‐reported hearing loss in women. However, no studies have examined the association …

Background Several cross-sectional studies have linked higher physical fitness with better
hearing sensitivity but have not established a causal relation; none have used a prospective …
