本研究的主要目的是：1）纵向确认老年人与年龄相关的体能衰退，2）通过体能的初始水平预测未来的功能状态和死亡率。研究对象为1992年和1996年东京都老年学研究所老龄化纵向跨学科研究中的517名老年人。在基线和随访检查中，对受试者进行了相同的成套检查，包括肌力、平衡、步行和手动速度。除握力外，所有物理性能均出现显著的纵向下降。随着年龄的增长，与年龄相关的下降加速首选的步行速度。受试者间步行速度的变异性在4年内显著增加。最大步行速度是功能状态和死亡率的常见预测因子。结果表明，身体机能的措施，特别是最大步行速度，是一个有效的手段，物理治疗，以评估身体功能的社区生活的老年人。
The primary purposes of this study were 1) to confirm age-related deterioration of physical performance in older adults longitudinally, and 2) to predict future functional status and mortality by initial level of physical performances. The subjects were 517 older adults examined both in 1992 and 1996 in the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology, Longitudinal Interdisciplinary Study on Aging. The same battery consisting of muscle strength, balance, walking, and manual speed was administered to the subjects in the baseline and follow-up examinations. A significant longitudinal decline was observed in all physical performances except for grip strength. The age-related decline accelerated with aging for preferred walking velocity. Inter-subject variability in walking velocity significantly increased for 4 years period. Maximum walking velocity was a common predictor for functional status and mortality. The results suggest that physical performance measures, especially maximum walking velocity, is a valid means for physical therapy to evaluate physical functioning of community-living older persons.
