Grip strength, body composition, and mortality.
BACKGROUND Several studies in older people have shown that grip strength predicts all-cause mortality. The mechanisms are unclear. Muscle strength declines with age, accompanied by a loss of muscle mass and an increase in fat, but the role that body composition plays in the association between grip strength and mortality has been little explored. We investigated the relation between grip streng...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Diet, Body Composition, and Grip Strength in Professional Cheerleaders

In sports with value placed on weight and appearance, an increased prevalence of energy deficiency has been found,...
متن کاملBody composition and grip strength are improved in transgenic sickle mice fed a high-protein diet
Key pathophysiology of sickle cell anaemia includes compensatory erythropoiesis, vascular injury and chronic inflammation, which divert amino acids from tissue deposition for growth/weight gain and muscle formation. We hypothesised that sickle mice maintained on an isoenergetic diet with a high percentage of energy derived from protein (35 %), as opposed to a standard diet with 20 % of energy d...
متن کاملGrip strength and mortality: a biomarker of ageing?
226 www.thelancet.com Vol 386 July 18, 2015 Grip strength is a simple but powerful predictor of future disability, morbidity, and mortality. The relation between grip strength and future mortality has been shown, not only in older people but also in middle-aged and young people. The evidence has been summarised in systematic reviews and in a meta-analysis. However, important questions remain, s...

Sir—I was pleased to read the Research Letter of Kerr et al. in the January issue of this journal [1]. In it, they report a relationship between the grip strength and discharge disposition of elders admitted to hospital. Their research, though informative, is not the first to investigate ‘the link between grip strength and outcome in non-surgical settings’. For a primarily aged cohort of patien...
