MAXIMUM WALKING SPEED CAN IMPROVE THE DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF FRAILTY AMONG COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER ADULTS A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Abstract
This study investigates the diagnostic accuracy of the combination of usual walking speed (UWS) and maximum walking speed (MWS) to identify frailty in community-dwelling older adults. A population-based study with 758 participants aged 65 and older was conducted. Frailty syndrome was determined using the Fried phenotype. UWS and MWS were evaluated in a 4.6-meter path. Both measures were categorized using the 1.0 m/s cut points, and participants...
