摘要: Aim: To describe age- and sex-related differences in gait patterns of community-living men women using 3-D analysis. Methods: Subjects (n = 2006) aged 40–84 years participated the National Institute for Longevity Sciences-Longitudinal Study Aging (NILS-LSA). Spatiotemporal components, including velocity, step length, frequency, double support time during a cycle, were calculated from coordinates vertical force data. Velocity, length frequency normalized by leg acceleration due to gravity, was cycle duration. Results: walking variables brisk velocity significantly greater than women, while comfortable frequencies times men. Age-related changes marked at 70–84 years most spatiotemporal both sexes walking. During walking, age-related observed younger age there differences. Conclusion: The alteration obvious among those 70 years older, it accelerated markedly women's intensity.
