| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Study I: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for locomotive syndrome in community-dwelling older adults using a structural equation modeling. This study revealed that muscle strength, mobility and depression influence the locomotive syndrome.
Study II: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the locomotive syndrome and multidimensional factors involved in physical function among community-dwelling older adults in a longitudinal study. Our findings suggest that among physical functions, hip flexor strength influences the decline in mobility resulting from a disorder of the locomotive system in older adults.
