Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

1. 01

   Relationship of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha with muscle mass and muscle strength in elderly men and women: the Health ABC Study.

   The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences·2002200 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>A decline in muscle mass and muscle strength characterizes normal aging. As clinical and animal studies show a relationship between higher cytokine levels and low muscle mass, the aim of this study was to investigate…

2. 02

   Hand-grip dynamometry predicts future outcomes in aging adults.

   Journal of geriatric physical therapy (2001)·2008200 influential citations

   <h4>Background and purpose</h4>One use of clinical measures is the prediction of future outcomes. The purpose of this systematic review was to summarize the literature addressing the value of grip strength as a predictor of important…

3. 03

   Is grip strength a predictor for total muscle strength in healthy children, adolescents, and young adults?

   European journal of pediatrics·2010157 influential citations

   The primary purpose of this study was to examine whether grip strength is related to total muscle strength in children, adolescents, and young adults. The second purpose was to provide reference charts for grip strength, which could be…

4. 04

   Association of muscle power with functional status in community-dwelling elderly women.

   The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences·2000·n=80156 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>Identification of the physiologic factors most relevant to functional independence in the elderly population is critical for the design of effective interventions. It has been suggested that muscle power may be more…

5. 05

   Handgrip strength as a predictor of functional, psychological and social health. A prospective population-based study among the oldest old.

   Age and ageing·2010151 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>muscle wasting is associated with a detrimental outcome in older people. Muscle strength measurements could be useful as part of a clinical evaluation of oldest old patients to determine who are most at risk of…

6. 06

   Muscle strength and body mass index as long-term predictors of mortality in initially healthy men.

   The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences·2000·n=1,000136 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>Muscle weakness, low body weight, and chronic diseases are often observed in the same people; however, the association of muscle strength with mortality, independent of disease status and body weight, has not been…

7. 07

   Handgrip strength and cause-specific and total mortality in older disabled women: exploring the mechanism.

   Journal of the American Geriatrics Society·2003136 influential citations

   <h4>Objectives</h4>To examine the association between muscle strength and total and cause-specific mortality and the plausible contributing factors to this association, such as presence of diseases commonly underlying mortality,…

8. 08

   Strength and muscle quality in a well-functioning cohort of older adults: the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study.

   Journal of the American Geriatrics Society·2003111 influential citations

   <h4>Objectives</h4>To determine whether lower lean mass and higher fat mass have independent effects on the loss of strength and muscle quality in older adults and might explain part of the effect of age.<h4>Design</h4>Single-episode,…

9. 09

   Relationships between physical performance measures, age, height and body weight in healthy adults.

   Age and ageing·2000·n=55105 influential citations

   <h4>Objective</h4>we measured muscle strength and functional mobility in healthy men and women over the adult age range to investigate the changes with age and sex, and to establish the effects of the anthropometric indices height and…

10. 10

    Disability, physical activity, and muscle strength in older women: the Women's Health and Aging Study.

    Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation·1999102 influential citations

    <h4>Objective</h4>To study associations of motor disability, physical activity, and muscle strength in older women, in particular to investigate whether model of spiraling decrease is expressed in the data.<h4>Design</h4>Cross-sectional…
