Low airflow and grip strength linked to disability and death

Adults with persistently low airflow and low, declining grip strength had 3.49 times the odds of death compared with those with very high readings.Adults with persistently low airflow and low, declining grip strength had 3.49 times the odds of death compared with those with very high readings.

Diabetes is tied to lower functional recovery in arthritis

In older adults with arthritis, coexisting diabetes was associated with a 19.9% probability of functional recovery compared with 23.3% for arthritis alone.In older adults with arthritis, coexisting diabetes was associated with a 19.9% probability of functional recovery compared with 23.3% for arthritis alone.
