步行速度和其他变量之间的关联已经在一组67名女性和58名男性年龄在65岁至90岁之间，独立生活进行了调查。在男性中，步行速度与小腿力量、步数（衡量习惯体力活动的指标）、积极休闲时间、身高和体重呈正相关，与年龄和健康问题呈负相关。在女性中，除了体重之外，这些关系是相同的，并且报告的腿部疼痛与步行速度呈负相关。多元回归分析表明，在男性中，44%的步行速度的方差是由身高，小腿力量和健康问题的存在，而在女性中，42%的方差是由身高，小腿力量，步评分和腿部疼痛限制移动的存在。这些研究结果的意义，以维持和改善老年人的步行速度进行了讨论。
Associations between walking speed and other variables have been investigated in a group of 67 women and 58 men aged between 65 and 90 years and living independently. In men, walking speed was related positively to calf strength, step-score (a measure of customary physical activity), hours spent in active leisure, height and weight, and negatively to age and the presence of health problems. In women, the relations were the same, with the exception of weight, and reported leg pain was negatively associated with walking speed. Multiple regression analysis showed that in men 44% of the variance in walking speed was accounted for by height, calf strength and the presence of health problems, and that in women 42% of the variance was accounted for by height, calf strength, step-score and the presence of leg pain limiting mobility. The significance of these findings to maintenance and improvement of walking speed in the elderly is discussed.
