*
P values compare point earned = 4 vs. <4 or unipedal stand held for 30 s vs. not held.
†
Percentages shown for unipedal stand are based on 867 participants (415 women, 452 men) with score of 4 on the SPPB balance measures. Unipedal stand was not performed for participants with SPPB balance score <4.
‡
n = 522 of 1,087 EDIC participants reported at least one functional limitation in any domain. Domain-specific percentages are based on 522 participants (264 women, 258 men) reporting any functional limitation.
