Motor constructs and risk of adverse health outcomesa
Predictor | Death, HR (95% CI) | ADb, HR (95% CI) | Disability, HR (95% CI) |
---|---|---|---|
Frailty | 1.48 (1.27-1.73) | 1.56 (1.27-1.92) | 1.44 (1.21-1.71) |
PSSc | 1.53 (1.36-1.72) | 1.35 (1.14-1.59) | 2.20 (1.90-2.53) |
GMSd | 0.51 (0.42-0.60) | 0.62 (0.49-0.78) | 0.39 (0.32-0.47) |
aBased on proportional-hazard models that controlled for age, sex and education for each of the three outcomes. Results show the effect for 1 SD unit higher level of physical frailty (1 SD = 0.6 units), parkinsonian sign score (1 SD = 7 points) and global motor score (1 SD = 0.27 units). Higher baseline values for physical frailty and parkinsonian signs score (that is, poorer performance) were associated with an increased risk of adverse health outcomes (HR >1.00) whereas a higher baseline value for global motor score (that is, better performance) was associated with a decreased risk of adverse health outcomes (HR < 1.0).
