背景和目的：身体功能和生活质量是老年人多维度评价的两个主要组成部分。这项研究的目的是验证哪些特定的身体功能测量是这些人生活质量的更重要的预测因素。方法：数据来自73个社区居住的老年人参加老年心血管门诊。进行线性回归和协方差分析，以探索身体功能测量（4米步行试验[4mWS]、短期体能测试[SPPB]、日常生活活动[ADL]和工具性ADL [IADL]）与生活质量（使用欧洲生活质量[EuroQoL]工具评估）之间的关系。为了提供所有身体功能指标的公平比较，根据标准差（SD）的增加提供结果。结果：样本人群（女性52%）的平均年龄为77.6岁（SD=8.3）。考虑到身体功能和生活质量之间存在显著的性别相互作用，对男性和女性进行了单独分析。在女性中，所有的身体功能指标与未校正模型中的生活质量指标显著相关（p值
Background and aims: Physical function and quality of life represent two major components of multidimensional evaluation in older people. The aim of the study was to verify which specific physical function measure is a more important predictor of quality of life in these individuals. Methods: Data are from 73 community-dwelling older persons attending a geriatric cardiovascular clinic. Linear regressions and analyses of covariance were performed to explore the relationships between physical function measures (4-meter walking test [4mWS], Short Physical Performance Battery [SPPB], Activities of Daily Living [ADL], and Instrumental ADL [IADL]) and quality of life (assessed using the European Quality of Life [EuroQoL] instrument). To provide fair comparisons across all the physical function measures, results were provided according to their increase in standard deviation (SD). Results: The mean age of the sample population (women 52%) was 77.6 (SD=8.3) years old. Given significant gender interactions between physical function and quality of life, separate analyses were conducted for men and women. In women, all physical function measures were significantly associated with quality of life measures in unadjusted models (p-values
