Objective: To investigate whether the performance on 5 times sit-to-stand test (5tSTS) can predict subsequent falls, fall-related fracture, and activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) disability in older persons.
Methods: A total of 948 older adults (age ≥ 60) participated in this study. Ability and the time to finish 5tSTS were recorded at baseline. Number of falls, fall-related fractures, and the ability to complete ADL and IADL without assistance were recorded retrospectively at baseline and at the 3-year follow-up.
Results: Inability to complete 5tSTS was a marginal predictor of falls (OR = 4.22) and a significant predictor of ADL- (OR = 24.70) and IADL-related disability (OR = 17.10) at 3-year follow-up. The need of longer time to complete 5tSTS was predictive of developing IADL-related disability at 3-year follow-up (OR = 4.22 [> 16.6 s]; OR = 2.49 [13.7 - 16.6 s]).
Discussion: 5tSTS is an easily administered tool which can be used to predict subsequent ADL- and IADL-related disability.

Relationship between handgrip strength and self-reported functional difficulties among older Indian adults: The role of self-rated health.
Exp Gerontol
August 2022
Department of Physiotherapy, La Trobe University, Melbourne, VIC 3086, Australia.
Background: Older individuals' handgrip strength is a predictor of functional health and their self-perceptions of health may influence functional health and disability. Hence, the study explored the associations between handgrip strength and self-reported functional difficulties in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL (IADL) among older adults. The study also explored the moderation and mediation effects of self-rated health (SRH) in those associations.

Background: Few studies have shown age stage and sex differences in the association among dietary patterns and various health factors related to disability in older people. This study aimed to reveal the differences of characteristics, including several dietary patterns, associated with a decline in independence over 3 years in community-dwelling independent older people. Specifically, we examined data by age stage, for people between 65 and 75 years (earlier-stage) and people aged 75 years or above (later-stage), and sex.

Background: We examine the population impact on functional disability and social participation of physical and mental chronic conditions individually and in combination.
Methods: Cross-sectional, population-based data from community-dwelling people aged 45 years and over living in the 10 Canadian provinces in 2008-2009 were used to estimate the population attributable risk (PAR) for functional disability in basic (ADL) and instrumental (IADL) activities of daily living and social participation restrictions for individual and combinations of chronic conditions, stratified by age and gender, after adjusting for confounding variables.
Results: Five chronic conditions (arthritis, depression, diabetes, heart disease and eye disease) made the largest contributions to ADL-related and IADL-related functional disability and social participation restrictions, with variation in magnitude and ranking by age and gender.
