The locomotive syndrome risk test was developed to quantify the decrease in mobility among adults, which could eventually lead to disability. The purpose of this study was to establish reference values for the locomotive syndrome risk test for adults and investigate the influence of age and sex.
We analyzed 8681 independent community dwellers (3607 men, 5074 women). Data pertaining to locomotive syndrome risk test (the two-step test, the stand-up test, and the 25-question geriatric locomotive function scale [GLFS-25]) scores were collected from seven administrative areas of Japan.
The reference values of the three test scores were generated and all three test scores gradually decreased among young-to-middle-aged individuals and rapidly decreased in individuals aged over 60 years. The stand-up test score began decreasing significantly from the age of 30 years. The trajectories of decrease in the two-step test score with age was slightly different between men and women especially among the middle-aged individuals. The two physical test scores were more sensitive to aging than the self-reported test score.
The reference values generated in this study could be employed to determine whether an individual has mobility comparable to independent community dwellers of the same age and sex.
运动综合征风险测试旨在量化成年人活动能力的下降，这可能最终导致残疾。本研究的目的是为成年人的运动综合征风险测试建立参考值，并探讨年龄和性别的影响。
我们分析了 8681 名独立社区居民（3607 名男性，5074 名女性）。从日本七个行政区收集了与运动综合征风险测试（两步测试、起立测试和 25 项老年运动功能量表 [GLFS-25]）评分相关的数据。
生成了三个测试分数的参考值，所有三个测试分数在年轻到中年个体中逐渐下降，在 60 岁以上个体中迅速下降。从 30 岁开始，起立测试得分开始显著下降。两步测试得分随年龄下降的轨迹在男性和女性之间略有不同，尤其是在中年人群中。两项身体测试得分比自我报告测试得分更能反映衰老。
本研究生成的参考值可用于确定个体的活动能力是否与同年龄和性别的独立社区居民相当。
