Prediction of decline in activities of daily living using motor performance tests in older adults requiring long-term care.
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics 2024 Februrary 28
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to predict decline in activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults requiring long-term care, using motor performance tests.
METHODS: This prospective cohort study was conducted among 3948 older adults using day care services in Japan. ADL decline was assessed using the Functional Independence Measure at the start of day care service use and 12 months later. Grip strength (GS), one-leg standing (OLS), and comfortable walking speed (CWS) were measured as baseline motor performance tests. To predict ADL decline using motor performance tests, we calculated cut-off values using receiver operating characteristics curves and odds ratios using logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS: In total, 521 participants had ADL decline at 12 months of follow-up. The cut-off values for each motor performance test were as follows (for men/women): GS < 24 kg/16 kg, OLS < 2 s/3 s, and CWS < 0.77 m/s/0.71 m/s. The odds ratios based on the number of items with scores below the cut-off were 1.84 for one item, 3.19 for two items, and 5.20 for three items.
CONCLUSION: Motor performance tests are effective in predicting ADL decline in older adults requiring long-term care, and combining the results of multiple items is even more effective.
