TL;DR: Discriminant analysis of selected medical and anthropometric variables indicated that handgrip strength in the dominant hand and reported symptoms of arthritis, giddiness and foot difficulties were most influential in predicting reports of recent falls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of a simple mechanical accelerometer (pedometer) for the estimation of walking activity.
TL;DR: The accelerometer can be used as a pedometer to give an estimate of the number of footsteps taken over long periods by subjecting it to controlled bench tests consisting of repetitive vertical oscillations on two designs of test rig.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle strength and anthropometric indices in elderly men and women
TL;DR: Muscle strength, overlying skinfold thickness and calculated muscle area for the triceps surae muscle of the calf and the biceps brachii of the upper arm are described in 184 subjects aged between 65 and 90 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in body fat and muscle in manual workers at and after retirement
TL;DR: The changes in body fat and muscle in 73 men retiring from manual work have been measured in a longitudinal anthropometric study and the possible contributions of ageing and of changes in energy balance and physical activity to these findings are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of age on muscle strength and anthropometric indices within a group of elderly men and women
TL;DR: Within a group of 184 subjects (100 females) aged 65-90 years living independently, age was found to have a significant negative correlation with strength of triceps surae in the calf and biceps brachii in the arm.
