Objectives. This paper sought to provide normative values for grip strength among older adults 65+ across different age groups in northwest Russia. Methods. A population-based prospective cohort study of 611 community-dwelling individuals 65+. Grip strength was measured using the standard protocol applied in the Groningen Elderly Tests. The cut-off thresholds for grip strength were defined separately for men and women of different ages using a weighted polynomial regression. Results and conclusions. 1. This study presents age- and sex-specific reference values for grip strength in the 65+ Russian population derived from a prospective cohort study. 2. The grip strength values obtained in the current study were lower than those reported in other population-based studies in Europe and USA.

Mongolia ranks third in the world in stroke-related deaths. Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, known as sarcopenia, is associated with a higher risk of various metabolic disorders such as stroke. Thus, screening of sarcopenia is important. Hand-grip strength (HGS) can be used to predict sarcopenia in the short term. In this cross-sectional study, we used data (n=1180, mean age of 39.2 ± 15.2 and 33.2% males) from the Mon-Timeline cohort study, a multidisciplinary, prospective, population-based cohort study in Mongolia. A digital grip strength dynamometer (TKK 5401 GRIP D; Takei, Japan) was used to measure HGS. We performed binary logistic regression analysis between HGS and stroke risk. Suspected sarcopenia was defined when HGS is less than the 25th percentile of HGS. In this study, 3.3% of all participants had a stroke. The incidence of stroke was significantly higher (5.2% and 1.9%) in people with suspected sarcopenia. According to body composition, the incidence of stroke was more frequent in sarcopenic obese people: 1.3%, 2.4%, 2.8% and 6.2% in normal (non-obese and non-sarcopenic), sarcopenic (non-obese), obese (non-sarcopenic) and sarcopenic obese groups, respectively. In regression analysis, the OR (95% CI) was 2.84 (1.44; 5.59) for sarcopenic compared with non-sarcopenic. The adjustments for age, gender, education, body mass index, waist circumference and hypertensive status attenuated the associations, but lower HGS remained significantly associated with a higher risk of stroke. In conclusion, lower HGS was significantly associated with a higher risk of stroke independent of adiposity and hypertensive status in Mongolian adults.

Abstract Background and Aims Post-transplant anemia is highly prevalent in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). It is known that anemia impairs health-related quality of life, especially physical functioning. Although surmised, data about the latter are scarce. Hence, we aimed to investigate the association between anemia and muscle mass and muscle strength in KTRs. Method We used the TransplantLines Biobank and Cohort study, a prospective cohort study among all types of solid organ transplant recipients. For the current study, we used stable KTRs with a functional graft for more than 1 year post transplantation and with data available on hemoglobin levels and muscle mass (n=824). Muscle mass was assessed using 24-hour urinary creatinine excretion. Muscle strength was determined by means of hand grip strength using a dynamometer. Hand grip strength was tested three times with 30 seconds recovery time between attempts. For current analyses, the mean overall hand grip strength was calculated. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin <12 g/dL for women and <13 g/dL for men, according to WHO definitions. We used multivariable linear regression analyses to assess associations between anemia and muscle mass and strength. Results We included 824 KTRs (age 56±13 years, 60% males), with a mean hemoglobin of 13.5±1.8 g/dL. Anemia was present in 28% (n=277) of KTRs. Serum hemoglobin was associated with creatinine excretion, independent of age, sex, eGFR, BMI, hs-CRP, smoking status, alcohol use, and the use of RAAS-inhibitors, calcineurin inhibitors, proliferation inhibitors, or prednisolone (β=0.13, P<0.001). Similarly, the presence of anemia was independently associated with a lower creatinine excretion (β=-0.09, P=0.002). In line with creatinine excretion, hemoglobin levels (β=0.15, P<0.001) and the presence of anemia (β=-0.09, P=0.002) were also associated with handgrip strength independent of potential confounders. Conclusion Low hemoglobin levels and anemia are both strongly associated with lower muscle mass and muscle strength in KTRs, likely impairing physical functioning. Future research is needed to address whether correction of anemia improves physical performance in KTRs.
