• Gait speed at usual pace as a predictor of adverse outcomes in community-dwelling older people an International Academy on Nutrition and Aging (IANA) Task Force (2009, neutral): “Other authors have also analysed upper and lower extremity physical performance measures alone or in combination finding that gait speed alone performs as well as more comprehensive batteries (or combinations of tests) in predicting adverse health outcomes in most of the cases (23, 31, 36-39, 43, 46”
