The Association of the Seven Gait Domains with Mortality

Domain Basic Model Adjusted for Other Gait Domains
HR [95% CI] HR [95% CI]
Rhythm 1.20 [1.09–1.31] 1.12 [1.02–1.23]
Phases 1.15 [1.05–1.25] 1.12 [1.03–1.21]
Variability 0.97 [0.88–1.07] 0.98 [0.89–1.08]
Pace 1.42 [1.28–1.57] 1.34 [1.19–1.50]
Tandem 1.08 [1.01–1.16] 1.10 [1.03–1.18]
Turning 1.08 [1.00–1.16] 1.07 [1.00–1.15]
Base of Support 1.13 [1.04–1.22] 1.05 [0.96–1.15]

Note: Shown are the hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals] for mortality per SD increase in gait. A higher score on any of the seven gait domains indicates a worse gait. The model was adjusted for age, sex, and height and subsequently also for all other gait domains. The domains are ordered according to the percentage explained variability of all the gait parameters, from highest (Rhythm) to lowest (Base of Support). CI = Confidence interval; OR = Odds ratio.
