Figure 1.

Mean trajectory of change in gait speed in men and women. Solid blue (men) and orange (women) lines were mean baseline and slopes of gait speed, which were obtained in participants who had more than three visits over the follow‐up (182 men, mean age, 71.0 ± 10 years; 183 women, mean age, 69.6 ± 9.8 years). A significant difference was observed in slopes between women and men (P < 0.0001). Dotted blue (men) and orange (women) lines were mean baseline and slopes of gait speed, estimated from a linear mixed model including all participants (539 men, mean age, 67.2 ± 14.6 years; 575 women, mean age, 65.4 ± 13.3 years).
