“…As shown in Figure , we saw HGS reached peaks and was maintained in midlife and began an accelerating decline around 50 years in both males and females. The trajectory of HGS across the life course in our cohort is similar to that in previous observations …”

“…It has been reported that muscle strength declines with ageing and that that drop starts during the fifth decade. 8 A study in China pointed out that efforts to preserve muscle health should probably be put forward at around age 50. 22 Moreover, to determine the age at which HGS declines in our cohort, we explored the age-related trends of Level 1 (10.94-31 HGS by gender.…”

“…Among older adults, many of the studies have reported a positive relationship between vitamin D status and HGS, 12,13 but this result cannot be found in the studies performed in participants with a broad age range. 14,15 Since HGS begins attenuating after 50 years of age, 8 we hypothesized that vitamin D is more beneficial to the maintenance of HGS in adults aged above 50 years than adults that are younger.…”

Summary Objective Handgrip strength (HGS) begins an accelerating decline around 50 years. Many of the studies performed in old adults have demonstrated a significant relationship between vitamin D and HGS, but the studies performed in participants with a broad age range have yielded conflicting results. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and HGS using age 50 as a specific cut‐off. Design Population‐based, cross‐sectional study. Participants Totally 5102 participants (2911 males, 2191 females) from the TCLSIH Cohort. Measurements Serum concentration of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured using an enzyme immunoassay. We divided participants into quartiles according to 25(OH)D, and the ranges for increasing quartiles were as follows: (males [≥50 years]: 10.94‐31.85, 31.88‐43.01, 43.20‐56.06, 56.20‐143.0; males [<50 years]: 11.11‐34.68, 34.71‐46.91, 46.96‐59.45, 59.50‐143.7; females [≥50 years]: 7.21‐30.01, 30.02‐40.18, 40.21‐52.44, 52.49‐275.4; females [<50 years]: 5.29‐28.91, 28.92‐40.19, 40.20‐51.90, 51.91‐140.2). HGS was measured with a hydraulic hand‐held dynamometer. Analysis of covariance was employed to explore the relationship. Results Among males aged above 50 years, the means (95% confidence interval) for HGS per body weight across the categories of serum 25(OH)D concentration were 0.523 (0.430‐0.638), 0.545 (0.447‐0.664), 0.543 (0.446‐0.661), 0.546 (0.449‐0.664) (Ptrend < 0.01) after adjustment for potential confounding factors. However, no relationships were observed between serum 25(OH)D concentration and HGS in males aged below 50 years and females in the whole age range. Conclusions Serum 25(OH)D concentration was significantly related to HGS in males aged above 50 years, independent of confounding factors. Future studies are needed to clarify the age and sex relationship between serum 25(OH)D concentration and HGS.

“…In both men and women, intensity of PA was positively associated with knee extension strength and leg strength in a non‐linear dose–response fashion; however, there was no association between sedentary activity and strength. Previous studies have reported differences between sexes, with one study reporting that PA resulted in dose–response strength increases in women only and another a sex interaction where PA was associated with muscle strength to a greater extent in women . However, our methodology differs significantly—Gomez‐Cabello et al employed a questionnaire (Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly) to assess PA, whilst Scott et al utilized pedometers, which do not allow for examination of activity intensity.…”

IntroductionThe aim of this study was to describe the relationship between accelerometer‐determined physical activity (PA), muscle mass, and lower‐limb strength in community‐dwelling older adults.MethodsSix hundred thirty‐six community‐dwelling older adults (66 ± 7 years) were studied. Muscle mass was measured using dual‐energy x‐ray absorptiometry, whilst lower limb strength was measured via dynamometry. We measured minutes/day spent in sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous intensity activity using Actigraph GT1M accelerometers.ResultsParticipants spent a median of 583(Interquartile ratio (IQR) 522–646), 225(176–271), 27(12–45) and 0(0–0) min in sedentary, light, moderate, and vigorous activity, respectively. PA intensity was positively associated with both lean mass percentage and lower limb strength in a dose–response fashion. Sedentary activity was negatively associated with lean mass percentage, but not lower‐limb strength. There was a positive association between PA and appendicular lean mass in men only. There was an interaction between age and activity; as age increased, the magnitude of the association of PA with lean mass percentage decreased. Those who adhered to the Australian Department of Health PA guidelines (moderate/vigorous PA >/=150 min/week) had greater lean mass percentage, appendicular lean mass, and lower limb strength.ConclusionsUsing accelerometer technology, both the amount and intensity of accelerometer‐determined PA had an independent, dose–response relationship with lean mass percentage and lower limb strength, with the largest effect for vigorous activity. Time spent in sedentary activity was negatively associated with lean mass percentage, but was not associated with lower limb strength. The magnitude of the association between PA and lean mass percentage decreased with age, suggesting that PA programmes may need to be modified with increasing age.

“…Gó -mez-Cabello et al (2014) showed that, in people 65 and older, physical activity in women was associated with both upper and lower body strength, whereas in men it was associated with strength of knee and grip. Further, exercise maintains or improves glucose metabolism, in-flammation, and anemia, as well as exercise tolerance underlying the feeling of "exhaustion" or low energy in the phenotype.…”
