Laboratory and daily-life gait speeds correlate with frailty and sarcopenia in older adults, suggesting effective risk stratification methods.
In a sample of generally well-functioning adults, although LGS and DGS were not interchangeable, sufficient discrimination accuracy for the prefrailty/frailty, probable sarcopenia, and RLSM outcomes could be achieved with LGS alone. These findings suggest that routine laboratory gait speed assessment may be sufficient for risk stratification in community-dwelling adults.
