Our aim was to calculate the 'Timed Up & Go' (TUG) normative scores in a Spanish sample composed of functional older adults. The TUG test provides a measure of global ambulation skills and its total score has been successfully related with functionality and other important health variables in older adults. Reliable norms are needed for adults 50 years and older that allow the early identification and intervention in motor disturbances. The study was carried out with adults from Galicia and Valencia living in the community. A total of 314 Spanish community-living participants, aged from 50 to 90 years and functionality preserved were assessed through the implementation of a cross-sectional design. Health, comorbidity, physical activity, cognitive status, functionality measures and TUG test scores were obtained. TUG scores were successfully predicted by age and gender, and significantly correlated with cognitive status and comorbidity. TUG norms were calculated by age-group for women and men. TUG normative scores were below 13s and slightly lower in men. Normative scores for women and men were lower than those proposed in studies carried-out in our context. Our norms showed risk reference scores close to those obtained by meta-analytical procedures.
我们的目的是计算由功能正常的老年人组成的西班牙样本中的“计时起立行走”（TUG）常模得分。TUG 测试提供了一项对整体移动技能的评估，其总得分已成功与老年人的功能和其他重要健康变量相关联。对于 50 岁及以上的成年人，需要可靠的常模来早期识别和干预运动障碍。该研究在加利西亚和瓦伦西亚的社区居住的成年人中进行。共有 314 名年龄在 50 至 90 岁之间、功能正常的西班牙社区居住参与者，通过实施横断面设计进行评估。获得了健康、合并症、身体活动、认知状态、功能测量和 TUG 测试得分。TUG 得分可通过年龄和性别进行预测，并且与认知状态和合并症显著相关。根据年龄组为女性和男性计算了 TUG 常模。女性和男性的 TUG 常模得分均低于 13 秒，且男性得分略低。女性和男性的常模得分均低于在我们的研究环境中进行的研究中提出的常模得分。我们的常模显示接近荟萃分析程序获得的风险参考得分。
