OBJECTIVES: To describe isokinetic knee extensor muscle strength in older U.S. men and women by age and race/ethnicity and to ascertain its relationship to a standard, timed walking-speed test.SETTING: The U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2000.DESIGN: A cross-sectional nationally representative health examination survey.PARTICIPANTS: All surveyed persons aged 50 and older (N=1,499) who performed muscle strength and timed walk examinations in the NHANES mobile examination center.MEASUREMENTS: Concentric peak torque (strength) of the knee extensors at 1.05 rads/ s(-1) velocity and a 6-m walk timed in seconds.RESULTS: Knee extensor strength was inversely associated with age (P
