“…Hand-grip strength (HGS) is a simple objective measure of muscle strength and a well-known predictor of morbidity and disability among older people (8)(9)(10) and of mortality among both younger (11) and older age groups (8,12,13). A positive association between manual work and HGS was shown among men with a high workload compared to men with a lower workload in a cross-sectional study (14), suggesting a training effect.…”

This retrospective cohort study evaluates the associations between physical exposures throughout working life and late midlife hand-grip strength (HGS). Exposure to lifting, standing/walking, and kneeling were analyzed in multiple regression models. Physical exposures in working life were associated with a slightly higher HGS among men but no associations between physical exposures and HGS were seen among women.

“…At the time of the CAMB establishment, 4604 individuals had died or had previously asked to be excluded from cohort follow-ups, which yielded a sample of 24 751 persons eligible for invitation into CAMB. Due to lack of resources, 6814 persons (28% of those eligible) were further excluded as they lived in the Western part of Denmark, too far from the study clinic (26). Thus, a total of 17 937 persons were invited to participate in the CAMB study, of which 7190 filled in the accompanying questionnaire and 5575 further participated in the clinical examination (26).…”

“…The low response rate of the CAMB study suggests that participants are a somewhat selected group. To evaluate the effect of this possible bias, Avlund et al (26) compared participants and non-participants by linking data from the CAMB study with national registers and found that educational level did not differ substantially between participants and non-participants. However, a greater proportion of the participants were employed Table 3.…”

ObjectivesThe aims of this study were to describe changes in height during childhood and to investigate potential changes in the proportion of children attaining final height in childhood and in correlations between child and adult height across birth cohorts.MethodsWe included 363 059 children (179 906 girls) from the Copenhagen School Health Records Register, who were born between 1930 and 1989, with height measurements at ages 7, 10, or 13 years. Linkages to data resources containing adult height values between ages 18 and 69 years were possible for a subpopulation of 96 133 individuals (23 051 women). Birth years were categorized as 1930 to 1939, 1940 to 1949, and 1950 to 1989. Descriptive height statistics were estimated by birth years and birth cohorts. Height correlations were examined using sex‐ and age‐specific partial Pearson correlation analyses and meta‐regression techniques.ResultsAcross 60 birth years, mean child heights at age 7 increased by 2.9 cm in girls and 3.0 cm in boys, and adult heights increased as well. The proportions of children attaining final height by age 13 remained low across the birth cohorts; nonetheless, there was a significant increase from 0.7% to 1.5% in girls only (P < .0001). Both child‐child and child‐adult height correlations were strong and remained relatively stable across birth cohorts.ConclusionsMean child and adult height increased during the study period, but the proportion of children attaining final height at age 13 remained low. Child‐child and child‐adult height correlations were largely unchanged across birth cohorts.
