Locomotive syndrome (LS) encompasses conditions that may lead to the need for nursing services. We aimed to quantify the association between exercise habits during youth or the middle-age years and both physical function and the presence of LS in Japanese elderly people.
We examined 460 participants of the eighth, ninth, and tenth iterations of the Miyagawa study. Participants were divided into an LS group and a no-LS group according to their scores on the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale. The following physical function tests were performed: grip strength, 6-m walk at normal and maximum speed, single-leg stance time with eyes open, and chair stand time. The frequency of past physical activity was determined by interview.
Ninety-seven participants (21.1%) were classified as having LS. The LS group had worse physical function than the no-LS group. Exercise habits between the ages of 25 and 50 years were significantly related to later LS.
Participants with LS were less likely to report a regular exercise habit between the ages of 25 and 50 years than participants without LS. Participants who reported regular exercise habits in middle age had better physical function during old age. Regular exercise habits in middle age appear to protect against LS during the older years.
运动机能不全综合征（LS）包含可能导致需要护理服务的状况。我们旨在量化日本老年人年轻时或中年时期的运动习惯与身体机能以及LS存在之间的关联。
我们对宫川研究第八、九、十轮的460名参与者进行了检查。根据他们在25道题的老年运动机能量表上的得分，将参与者分为LS组和非LS组。进行了以下身体机能测试：握力、正常速度和最大速度下的6米步行、睁眼单腿站立时间以及从椅子上站起的时间。通过访谈确定过去体育活动的频率。
97名参与者（21.1%）被归类为患有LS。LS组的身体机能比非LS组差。25岁至50岁之间的运动习惯与后期的LS显著相关。
与没有LS的参与者相比，患有LS的参与者在25岁至50岁之间不太可能报告有规律的运动习惯。中年时期报告有规律运动习惯的参与者在老年时身体机能更好。中年时期有规律的运动习惯似乎可以预防老年时的LS。
