Due to increase in the life expectancy and changes related to aging, it is important to assess ADL (activities of daily living) in older adults. However, there is no standardized protocol available to assess ADLs. Considering the limitations of the available tools, a new protocol named Londrina ADL protocol was developed for which normative values are unavailable in different ethnic groups.
To develop the normative value and reference equation for the Londrina ADL protocol on the basis of anthropometric and demographic variables in healthy individuals in the age group of 40-60 years among the Indian population.
This cross-sectional study was conducted with 282 healthy individuals of both the genders between the age group of 40 and 60 and they were divided into 2 groups: 40-49 and 50-60. Each subject was made to perform the Londrina ADL protocol twice with a 30 min interval between the two protocols. The protocol is composed of 5 activities and the best out of the 2 performances were recorded.
The mean time taken among 40-49 years by females is 3.50 ± 0.50 min and by males is 3.73 ± 0.43 min. The mean time taken among 50-60 years by females is 4.25 ± 0.20 min and by males is 4.36 ± 0.18 min. The reference equation to predict reference values for the Londrina ADL protocol was as follows: equation (1): Londrina ADL predicted = 1.205 + (0.054 × age (years)) + (0.001 × height (cm)); equation (2): Londrina ADL predicted = 1.374 + (0.054 × age (years)) + (-0.003 × BMI).
The reference equation for the time to complete the Londrina ADL protocol was based on age and BMI as independent variables and can be useful for predicting the performance of healthy individuals.
由于预期寿命的延长和与衰老相关的变化，评估老年人的日常生活活动（ADL）非常重要。然而，目前还没有可用的标准化方案来评估 ADL。考虑到现有工具的局限性，开发了一种名为 Londrina ADL 方案的新方案，但不同种族群体缺乏规范值。
基于印度人口 40-60 岁健康个体的人体测量学和人口统计学变量，制定 Londrina ADL 方案的规范值和参考方程。
这是一项横断面研究，共纳入 282 名年龄在 40-60 岁之间的健康个体，分为 40-49 岁和 50-60 岁两组。每位受试者均需完成 Londrina ADL 方案两次，两次之间间隔 30 分钟。该方案由 5 项活动组成，记录两次测试中的最佳表现。
40-49 岁女性完成时间的平均值为 3.50±0.50 分钟，男性为 3.73±0.43 分钟。50-60 岁女性完成时间的平均值为 4.25±0.20 分钟，男性为 4.36±0.18 分钟。预测 Londrina ADL 方案参考值的参考方程如下：方程（1）：Londrina ADL 预测值=1.205+（0.054×年龄（岁））+（0.001×身高（cm））；方程（2）：Londrina ADL 预测值=1.374+（0.054×年龄（岁））+（-0.003×BMI）。
完成 Londrina ADL 方案的时间参考方程是基于年龄和 BMI 作为自变量，可用于预测健康个体的表现。
