a

Estimated differences were calculated using linear mixed models, which provide estimates for missing data.

b

Physiological Profile Assessment z scores of 0 to 1 indicate mild risk, 1 to 2 indicate moderate risk, 2 to 3 indicate high risk, and 3 or above indicate marked risk. A negative difference in scores between the 2 groups indicates that improvements were greater in the exercise group.

c

The Timed Up and Go Test is measured in seconds; longer completion times are associated with impaired mobility and fall risk; completion times of 13.5 seconds or longer indicate high fall risk. A negative difference in scores between the 2 groups indicates that improvements were greater in the exercise group.

d

Short Physical Performance Battery scores range from 0 (worst) to 12 (best); scores of 9 or lower predict subsequent disability. A positive difference in scores between the 2 groups indicates that improvements were greater in the exercise group.
