Abstract

<p>Objective: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of physical performance measures for people aged over 65 years who are at risk for locomotive syndrome stage 1, and to examine the cut-off value of the physical performance measures for locomotive syndrome stage 1.</p><p>Methods: This study population consisted of 182 people aged 65 and above who participated in a medical examination project in a municipality near Nagoya University. Using the locomotive syndrome risk test, the participants were divided into groups with and without locomotive syndrome stage 1. The relationship of locomotive syndrome stage 1 with the physical performance measures was analyzed between the two groups. The cut-off values were examined for the factors that were significantly associated with locomotive syndrome stage 1.</p><p>Results: As determined by logistic regression analysis, one-leg standing time with eyes open showed a significant association with locomotive syndrome stage 1 (p<0.01). In addition, one-leg standing time with eyes open for 17.0 s was found to be the cut-off value for locomotive syndrome stage 1 (AUC=0.66, sensitivity: 42%, specificity: 88%).</p><p>Conclusions: It was observed that the most relevant physical performance measure for locomotive syndrome stage 1 was one-leg standing time with eyes open. It was observed that 17.0 s was the cut-off value for one-leg standing time with eyes open for locomotive syndrome stage 1.</p>
