LS: locomotive syndrome
OR: odds ratio
CI: confidence interval
GLFS-25: 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale
Locomotive syndrome was defined as ≥16 points on the GLFS-25. Body pain includes question Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4. Movement-related difficulty includes question Nos. 5, 6, and 7. Usual care includes question Nos. 8, 9, 10, 11, and 14. GLFS-5 includes question Nos. 12, 13, 15, 17, and 20. Social activities includes question Nos. 18, 21, 22, and 23. Cognitive includes question Nos. 24 and 25. Δ indicates change in score between baseline and 1 year later. OR for 1-score increase. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
