Outline of Final Research Achievements

The prevalence of low SMI, high %BF, and slow gait speed was 19.8% (n = 39), 52.3% (n = 103), and 26.7% (n = 52) in men and 23.6% (n = 48), 62.1% (n = 126), and 29.6% (n = 60) in women, respectively. The prevalence of low SMI and high %BF in men was significantly higher than in women [men: 12.7% (n = 25); women: 7.9% (n = 16); p < .001]. Adjusted logistic regression analysis demonstrated a significant association between high %BF and slower gait speed [men: odds ratio (OR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2-4.9, p = .02; women: OR, 2.2; 95% CI 1.1-4.6; p = .03].
