Accumulating evidence suggests that low grip strength (GS) is associated with a faster cognitive decline, but most previous studies have measured GS at a single time point, ignoring changes in GS. We aimed to explore the association of the GS loss rate with the sequent cognitive decline, as ...
More importantly, the researchers interpreted the findings to mean that a reduction in grip strength is associated with neural degeneration, which underscores the importance of muscle-building exercise. "These findings suggest that this is another instance where you're seeing that staying physically acti...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations between grip strength change and postmenopausal bone loss. The study population, 622 peri-
Muscle disuse in the hindlimb unloaded (HU) mice causes significant atrophy and weakness. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving disuse-muscle atrophy remain elusive. We investigated the potential contribution of proteins dysregulation by
(5), with participants classified as robust, pre-frail, or frail if they fulfilled none, 1–2, or 3 or more of the following 5 criteria: (a) unintentional weight loss, (b) exhaustion, (c) low physical activity, (d) slow walking speed, and (e) poor grip strength, measured using a...
Sarcopenia, a loss of muscle mass and strength, contributes to functional impairment. Weight loss is commonly due to a reduction in food intake; its possible etiology includes a host of physiological and nonphysiological causes. The release of cytokines during chronic disease may also be an ...
An understanding of the underlying causes of muscle loss is critical for the development of strategies and therapies to preserve muscle mass and function. Loss of skeletal muscle protein results from an imbalance between the rate of muscle protein synthesis and degradation. Cachexia, sarcopenia, and ...
Tests that look at your strength and your ability to move as you perform everyday activities include: Hand grip test.In this test, you'll be asked to squeeze a device called a hand dynamometer, as hard as you can, one hand at a time. The device will show how much force you can app...
In this context, the Epiphany is defined as the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles represented by the Maji (the Three Kings). I wonder what the Maji felt as they returned to their homeland and got further and further away from the Christ child and the Star of Bethlehem. Did they ...
Researchers from the University of Michigan and North Dakota State University followed nearly 14,000 participants from the 2006 Health and Retirement Study, age 50 and older, for eight years. They found that every 5-kg reduction in handgrip strength was associated with 10% greater odds for any...
