摘要: Abstract Background/Purpose Slower gait speed is a good predictor of falls, dependency, disability, and mortality. However, the cutoff point to best predict bad outcomes controversial. The purpose this study was determine that predicts Instrumental Activities Daily Living (IADL) dependency. Methods targeted 8000 people aged ≥ 65 years who had been enrolled in 2008 followed up 2011 for Profiles Older People Survey Korea. population divided into an independent group dependent with Korean (K-IADL) scores 10 and ≥ 11, respectively. measured as time taken walk 2.5 m at usual pace without any help, result two trials chosen analysis. Results area under curve highest (0.642) 0.6 m/s, sensitivity specificity 68.44% 55.09%, dependency hazard ratio IADL statistically significant less than 1.974 (95% confidence interval, 1.646–2.367). also same after adjusting all relevant variables, 1.613 1.332–1.955). Conclusion 0.6 m/s may be considered new standard screening tool aged ≥ 65 years.
