Background While handgrip strength is associated with all-cause and cause-specific
mortality, whether such associations are dose-dependent is largely unknown. Therefore, we …

Background & aims Handgrip strength is a strong predictor of the risk of mortality. The
objective of this systematic review was to analyse handgrip strength measurement protocols …

Objectives To examine multiple objective and self-reported measures of motor function for
their associations with mortality. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting UK based …

Purpose Decreased physical function with increasing life expectancy is a public health
concern worldwide. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is considered one of the primary illnesses …

Background Frailty is a common condition among older adults that results from aging-related
declines in multiple systems. Frailty increases older adults' vulnerability to negative health …

Background Fear of falling (FOF) might be associated with physical and cognitive function,
but there is a lack of understanding of the specific relationship between the three variables …

Motor fitness and flexibility have been linked to several health issues. We aimed to
investigate the predictive validity of motor fitness and flexibility tests in relation to health …

Importance Single sensory impairment is associated with reduced functional resilience and
increased mortality, though the effects of multiple sensory deficits are not known. Objective …

Background It is currently unclear whether (and when) physical function exhibits a terminal
decline phase, that is, a substantial acceleration of decline in the very last years before …

Background The ATHLOS consortium (Aging Trajectories of Health–Longitudinal
Opportunities and Synergies) used data from several aging cohorts to develop a novel scale …
