Reference Values and Correlations for Multiple Physical Performance Measures: A Cross-Sectional Study among Independently Mobile Older Men in Japan

Abstract: Purpose: Japan is one of few countries with a male life expectancy over 80 years. The gap between the healthy life span and the total life expectancy is large, highlighting the importance of maintaining physical performance. The present study aims to establish reference values for multiple physical performance measures among high-functioning oldest-old Japanese men and to investigate the correlations among these measurements to understand how these variables are related. Methods: This study was conducted with … Show more

“…However, regarding older adults in Japan, it remains unclear which functioning assessments are most closely related to functional mobility. Additionally, it is difficult to interpret functioning assessments of certain older individuals due to the increased frequency of multiple chronic diseases [20] and general declines in overall functioning [21,22]. Moreover, frailty consists of several interrelated factors, including age-associated declines in lean body mass, strength, endurance, balance, and walking performance [23].…”
