Measures PFS Physical Score
LS means (SE)a Difference AUC
Yes No Mean (SE) 95%CI
Poor physical performance b 23.5(1.0) 15.6(1.2) 7.9(0.3) 7.3-8.5 0.77
Slow gait speed c 23.1(1.2) 17.5(1.1) 5.6(0.3) 5.0-6.2 0.69
Low strength performance d 24.1(0.9) 16.4(1.1) 7.6 (0.3) 7.0-8.2 0.79
Low physical activity e 23.1(1.1) 20.2(1.7) 3.1(0.3) 2.5-3-7 0.64

LS means: Least squares means, SE: Standard Error, AUC: Area Under the Curve.

a

Adjusted by age and gender.

b

Defined as Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) <10 points.

c

Defined as low gait speed: gait speed ≤0.8 m/sec during a walk at usual pace over 4-meters.

d

Defined as time to performed chair stand test ≥16.7 seconds or not able to do 5 stands.

e

Defined as weekly walking time ≤2.5hours/week.
