...Measures of Physical Performance The physical performance battery used in the EPESE studies, previously described in detail (9,10), evaluated lower extremity function by using tests of gait speed, standing balance, and time to rise from a chair five times....

...This scale has been demonstrated to have predictive validity in analyses showing a gradient of risk for mortality, nursing home admission, and incident disability (7,9,10)....
[...]
...This study evaluates findings across these sets of studies, assesses whether a simple measure of gait speed has the same predictive value for disability as the full performance battery used in the initial EPESE studies (9,10), presents predictive models of risk of disability and death according to performance level, age, sex, and number of years of follow-up, and examines how well these models predict disability in an external, Hispanic population....

...Based on data from over 5,000 persons from the original three EPESE sites (East Boston, Iowa, and New Haven), a five-level categorical score was created for each test, with 0 representing inability to complete the test and 4 representing the highest level of performance (10)....
