TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that tackling all these risk factors might substantially increase life years spent in good physical functioning, comparable in strength and consistency with those for established non-communicable disease risk factors.

Gait speed and cognitive decline over 2 years in the Ibadan study of aging
TL;DR: Gait speed was associated with the average follow-up cognition score and longitudinal changes in cognition in the elderly in an area populated by a quarter of Nigerians.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between mitochondrial function and walking performance in older adults with a wide range of physical function
Adam J. Santanasto,Paul M. Coen,Nancy W. Glynn,Kevin E. Conley,Sharon A. Jubrias,Francesca Amati,Elsa S. Strotmeyer,Robert M. Boudreau,Bret H. Goodpaster,Anne B. Newman +9 more
TL;DR: Mitochondrial function was associated with walking performance in higher functioning, active older adults, but not lower functioning, sedentary older adults.

Factors Contributing to 50-ft Walking Speed and Observed Ethnic Differences in Older Community-Dwelling Mexican Americans and European Americans
Myla Quiben,Helen P. Hazuda +1 more
TL;DR: Walking speed in older Mexican Americans and European Americans is influenced by modifiable and nonmodifiable factors, underscoring the importance of the DPM framework, which incorporates both factors into the physical therapist patient/client management process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Walking Smoothness Is Associated With Self-Reported Function After Accounting for Gait Speed
Kristin A. Lowry,Jessie M. VanSwearingen,Subashan Perera,Stephanie A. Studenski,Jennifer S. Brach +4 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that walking smoothness, particularly the smoothness of forward progression, represents aspects of the motor control of walking important for physical function not represented by gait speed alone.

The MOS 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36). I. Conceptual framework and item selection.
John E. Ware,Cathy D. Sherbourne +1 more
TL;DR: A 36-item short-form survey designed for use in clinical practice and research, health policy evaluations, and general population surveys to survey health status in the Medical Outcomes Study is constructed.

Measurement of health status: Ascertaining the minimal clinically important difference
TL;DR: An approach to elucidating the significance of changes in score in quality of life instruments by comparing them to global ratings of change is developed, and a plausible range within which the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) falls is established.

Gait speed and survival in older adults.
Stephanie A. Studenski,Subashan Perera,Kushang V. Patel,Caterina Rosano,Kimberly A. Faulkner,Marco Inzitari,Jennifer S. Brach,Julie Chandler,Peggy M. Cawthon,Elizabeth Connor,Michael C. Nevitt,Marjolein Visser,Stephen B. Kritchevsky,Stefania Badinelli,Tamara B. Harris,Anne B. Newman,Jane A. Cauley,Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik +18 more
TL;DR: In this pooled analysis of individual data from 9 selected cohorts, gait speed was associated with survival in older adults and predicted survival was as accurate as predicted based on age, sex, use of mobility aids, and self-reported function.

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.

Comfortable and maximum walking speed of adults aged 20—79 years: reference values and determinants
TL;DR: Gait speed can be expected to be reduced in individuals of greater age and of lesser height and lower extremity muscle strength and normative values should give clinicians a reference against which patient performance can be compared in a variety of settings.
