Notes: D3Cr = D3-creatine, kg = kilograms, m = meters, n = sample size, Nm = Newton-meters, s = seconds.
*Assessed by asking “In the past 7 days, how bothered were you by urinary symptoms?” and 4 response options range from “Not at all bothered” to “Extremely bothered.”
† p Value calculated using chi-square test.
‡Higher Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score indicates better functioning. Lower Four Square Step Test time indicates better balance. Higher Mobility Assessment Tool-Short Form score indicates better mobility.
