Journal ArticleDOI
A short physical performance battery assessing lower extremity function: association with self-reported disability and prediction of mortality and nursing home admission.
Jack M. Guralnik,Eleanor M. Simonsick,Luigi Ferrucci,Robert J. Glynn,Lisa F. Berkman,Dan G. Blazer,Paul A. Scherr,Robert B. Wallace +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that performance measures can validly characterize older persons across a broad spectrum of lower extremity function and that performance and self-report measures may complement each other in providing useful information about functional status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower-Extremity Function in Persons over the Age of 70 Years as a Predictor of Subsequent Disability
TL;DR: Among nondisabled older persons living in the community, objective measures of lower-extremity function were highly predictive of subsequent disability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower Extremity Function and Subsequent Disability Consistency Across Studies, Predictive Models, and Value of Gait Speed Alone Compared With the Short Physical Performance Battery
Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci,Carl F. Pieper,Suzanne G. Leveille,Kyriakos S. Markides,Glenn V. Ostir,Stephanie A. Studenski,Lisa F. Berkman,Robert B. Wallace +8 more
TL;DR: Performance tests of lower extremity function accurately predict disability across diverse populations and Equations derived from models using both the summary score and the gait speed alone allow for the estimation of risk of disability in community-dwelling populations and provide valuable information for estimating sample size for clinical trials of disability prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Several of the likely causal genes are highly expressed or known to act in the central nervous system (CNS), emphasizing, as in rare monogenic forms of obesity, the role of the CNS in predisposition to obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-associated changes in skeletal muscles and their effect on mobility: an operational diagnosis of sarcopenia
Fulvio Lauretani,Cosimo Roberto Russo,Stefania Bandinelli,Benedetta Bartali,Chiara Cavazzini,Angelo Di Iorio,Anna Maria Corsi,Taina Rantanen,Jack M. Guralnik,Luigi Ferrucci +9 more
TL;DR: Optimal cutoff values that can be used in the clinical practice to identify older persons with poor mobility were developed and lay the basis for a cost-effective, clinical marker of sarcopenia based on a measure of isometric handgrip strength.
