A single cut-off for slow gait may not be appropriate for men and women of different ages. We aimed to report reference values for gait speed and spatiotemporal gait parameters of adult age groups in a South East Asian population.Methods: A total of 507 community-dwelling adults, aged 21– 90 years were recruited into the study through random sampling, filling quotas of 20– 40 participants in each sex and age group (10-year age groups between 21 and 60 years; 5-year age groups beyond age 60 years). Demographic data, height, weight and information on comorbidities were recorded. Habitual gait speed and spatiotemporal parameters were measured, and the average of three trials was recorded using the GAITRite system.Results: Gait speed peaked in their 40s for both men and women, but the trajectories differed slightly across age groups. Although similar for men in their 50s and 60s, gait speed was significantly slower among those aged 71 years and older. For women beyond 50 years old, gait slowed with age. After adjusting for height, women were found to walk significantly faster and with a longer step length than men. Women also walked with a significantly narrower stride width and less external rotation of the feet. The lowest quintile for gait speed in our study cohort was 0.9m/s, below the recommended cut-off of 1.0m/s.Conclusion: We established the reference values as well as the quintiles for gait speed and spatiotemporal gait parameters across adult age groups in a multi-ethnic Asian population. This contributes to a valuable database for gait assessment and evaluation of preventive or rehabilitative programs.Keywords: habitual gait speed and spatiotemporal parameters, normative data, quintile, comorbidities, community-dwelling adultsLau LKWee SLPang WJBChen KKAbdul Jabbar KYap PLKMallya JUNg DHMTan QLLSeah WTNg TPDove Medical Pressarticlehabitual gait speed and spatiotemporal parametersnormative dataquintilecomorbiditiescommunity-dwelling adultsGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1753-1765 (2020) |
