Trajectories of performance on SPPB for males according to abdominal obesity and dynapenia status—the ELSA Study 2004–2012. Predictions for a 60-y-old male, total household wealth = first quintile, higher qualification, married, non-smoker, active, without hypertension, without diabetes, without lung disease, without heart disease, without stroke, without osteoarthritis, without osteoporosis, without falls, without joint pain, CES-D <4 points, mean memory score = 20, and stable weight. Over the 8-y follow-up, only males with D/AO had a faster rate of decline in the SPPB performance compared with males in the ND/NAO group (−0.11 points/y; 95% CI: −0.21, −0.01 points/y; P = 0.03); n = 1780. CES-D, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale; D/AO, dynapenic/abdominal obesity; D/NAO, dynapenic/nonabdominal obesity; ELSA, English Longitudinal Study of Ageing; ND/AO, nondynapenic/abdominal obesity; ND/NAO, nondynapenic/nonabdominal obesity; SPPB, Short Physical Performance Battery.
