“…de Abreu et al's [28] research reported that the TUG times did not present correlations with fall's history, which reminds us that a slow TUG time may be related to a higher risk for fractures but did not totally account for the higher fall risk; some other aspects may also be involved. The TUG test could reflect muscle strength, impaired gait and balance, and increased fall risk, [27].…”

“…Mousa et al [27] conducted a case-control study of 138 elderly individuals aged over 60 years from a hospital who showed abnormal TUG times; a TUG time > 20 s was defined as poor mobility and was strongly associated with a reduced BMD and increased fracture risk, but the study did not analyze the T2DM population in particular.…”

“…The minimum sample size was determined by using Green formula, N=50+8(m), where N represents “total participants of study” while m represents “independent variable” 32. In our study, four independent variables (age, sex, types of fracture, and use of a walking aid before fracture) were chosen as they were frequently used in previous physical assessment studies 24,33,34. Thus, after inputting all the values in the formula, the minimum sample required was 82 participants.…”

“…The test is convenient to be performed in clinical settings with limited training and equipment required 22. This test is an integral measure of gait speed and balance, together with fall risk, which are the major determinants of osteoporotic fractures in clinical settings 23,24. Apart from TUG test, handgrip strength (HGS) test is recommended for the measurement of muscle strength and considered the simplest method for assessment of muscle function in clinical settings 25.…”

“…1,2,3 Healthy older adults have satisfactory physiological function with balanced personal resilience and vulnerability, whereas frail older adults manifest impaired homeostasis of certain organ functions, with increased vulnerability (Figure 1). Importantly, frailty also constitutes an intermediate state, and active intervention programs may reverse or postpone the occurrence of subsequent functional decline or disability.…”
