SD: standard deviation; a. SPPB: Short Physical Performance Battery, range from 0 to 12. Paired sample t-test for repeated samples or Wilcoxon signed-rank were used for continuous variables as appropriate and Mc Nemar’s test for categorical variables. For the “balance impairment and falls categories, we report the n (%) of participants with the event
