Low Grip Strength May Flag Future Osteoporosis Risk
Low grip strength and sarcopenia may signal later osteoporosis risk. Here's what prospective studies show, where the evidence stops, and what to watch.
Mobility Decline: Brain, Muscle, and Balance in Aging
Why gait speed, chair stands, balance, leg strength, cognition, and body composition reveal mobility decline—and where brain-age tests still fall short.
Daily Movement and Muscle Function in Older Adults
Does moving more each day help preserve muscle function after 60? Evidence links activity and less sitting to better leg performance, yet cannot prove cause.
Grip Strength, Fitness, and Mortality Risk in MASLD
Can a handgrip test reveal mortality risk in fatty liver disease? Large cohort data link lower strength and fitness markers to worse long-term health outcomes.
Sex Before Exercise: First RCT Finds No Performance Loss
Does masturbation before exercise hurt performance? The first crossover RCT in trained men found no impairment 30 minutes later—and a 3.2% gain in cycling time.
Baduanjin for Frailty: Better Evidence Than Its Reputation
Baduanjin improved balance, mobility, and grip strength in 14 RCTs of older adults, but passive controls and China-only trials limit guideline-grade confidence.
