Table 2. Mean, minimum, and maximum time (in min) to completion of the Unsupported Upper Limb EXercise test by gender, as well as the lower limit of normal calculated using the regression model.
| Age group, years | Women (n = 48) | Men (n = 52) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time, min | LLNa | Time, min | LLNa | |
| 31-40 | 13.99 (12.20-15.00) | 11.51 | 14.24 (13.19-15.00) | 11.75 |
| 41-50 | 13.40 (12.15-15.00) | 10.92 | 14.10 (10.32-15.00) | 11.62 |
| 51-60 | 12.50 (9.48-15.00) | 10.01 | 13.26 (9.00-15.00) | 10.78 |
| 61-70 | 11.72 (9.36-13.20) | 9.23 | 13.05 (9.00-15.00) | 10.56 |
| 71-80 | 11.66 (9.01-13.51) | 9.18 | 12.47 (8.17-15.00) | 9.98 |
LLN: lower limit of normal. SEE: standard error of the estimate = 91.04. aLLN = mean test completion time − (1.64 × SEE). UULEX completion time (min) = 1,079.96 + (43.531 × [0 woman, 1 man]) − (2.96 × age) − (7.45 × body mass index). r2 = 0.30.
