目的：计时起身和行走（TUG）测试是一种可靠、经济、安全和省时的方法，可用于评估整体功能活动性。然而，TUG没有60岁以下个体的标准参考值（NRV）。本研究的目的是为年龄在20岁至59岁之间的个体建立TUG的NRV，并检查TUG与人口统计学，身体和心理健康风险因素之间的关系。研究方法：在初级保健访视时选择200名参与者，每十年50名（年龄20-29岁，30-39岁，40-49岁，50-59岁），并在他们从椅子上站起来，步行3米，转身，走回椅子并坐下进行TUG时计时。获得了关于危险因素社会经济状况、体重指数、多病指数、对整体身心健康的看法的信息，并将其用作独立于年龄的TUG时间的预测因子。结果如下：TUG时间在十年之间存在显著差异（F = 6.579，P = 0.001），与20 s（P = 0.001），30 s（P = 0.001）和40 s（P = 0.020）相比，50岁十年的TUG时间较慢。TUG时间越慢，SES越低，体重指数越高，合并症越多，感知的身体和心理健康越差。回归结果表明，知觉的身体和心理健康的TUG时间的预测超越年龄，性别和社会经济地位的独特方差。结论：本研究为20岁、30岁、40岁和50岁的成年人提供了TUG NRV。TUG可能对初级保健提供者有用，因为他们评估和监测年轻人的身体活动，特别是那些有身心健康风险因素的人。
Purpose: The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a reliable, cost-effective, safe, and time-efficient way to evaluate overall functional mobility. However, the TUG does not have normative reference values (NRV) for individuals younger than 60 years. The purpose of this study was to establish NRV for the TUG for individuals aged between 20 and 59 years and to examine the relationship between the TUG and demographic, physical, and mental health risk factors. Methods: Two hundred participants, 50 per decade (ages 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 years) were selected at their primary care visit, and timed as they performed the TUG by standing up out of a chair, walking 3 m, turning around, walking back to the chair, and sitting down. Information regarding the risk factors socioeconomic status, body mass index, an index of multimorbidities, perceptions of overall physical and mental health was obtained and used as predictors of TUG time independent of age. Results: TUG times were significantly different among the decades (F = 6.579, P = .001) with slower times occurring with the 50-year-old decade compared with the 20s (P = .001), 30s (P = .001), and 40s (P = .020). Slower TUG times were associated with lower SES, higher body mass index, more medical comorbidities, and worse perceived physical and mental health. Regression results indicated that perceived physical and mental health accounted for unique variance in the prediction of TUG time beyond age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Conclusions: This study provided TUG NRV for adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. The TUG may have utility for primary care providers as they assess and monitor physical activity in younger adults, especially those with physical and mental health risk factors.
