Objectives The relationship between obesity and grip strength, a key indicator of sarcopenia,
has been inconsistently reported. We aimed to examine associations between grip strength …

Background Muscle weakness, which increases in prevalence with age, is a major public
health concern. Grip strength is commonly used to identify weakness and an improved …

We aimed to examine associations between muscle strength and obesity and serum lipid
profile in Ravansar Non-Communicable Disease (RaNCD) cohort study. This study was …

Background Reduced muscular strength, as measured by absolute grip strength, has been
associated with increased risk of some site‐specific cancers. The ability of grip strength to …

Results: Linear regression revealed strong inverse associations for BMI and WC, and
positive associations for GS with follow-up PA; in women, MVPA ranges from lowest to …

Introduction: Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and strength with age, is significantly
associated with type 2 diabetes in older people. Aim: To determine whether there is a …

Background Aging is associated with decreases in muscle strength and simultaneous
changes in body composition, including decreases in muscle mass, muscle quality and …

Background Muscle quality (ie, the expression of muscle function per unit of muscle mass)
has been proposed as a clinically-relevant measure to detect individuals at risk of functional …

Introduction Epidemiological studies have shown that weaker grip strength in later life is
associated with disability, morbidity, and mortality. Grip strength is a key component of the …

Background Higher grip strength (GS) is associated with lower mortality risk. However,
whether this association is independent of adiposity is uncertain. Objective The purpose of …
