METABOLITES ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH VERSUS LOW WALKING ABILITY AMONG COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER MEN AND WOMEN

Low walking ability is highly prevalent with advanced age and associated with a higher risk of major adverse health outcomes. Metabolomics may help better characterize differences among older adults with vastly different walking abilities and provide insight into altered metabolic processes underlying age-related declines in physical functioning. Here, we sought to identify metabolites associated with high versus low walking ability using a...
