Exploring predictors of the five-time sit-to-stand test based on cross-sectional findings from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC)
The model highlights the importance of grip strength and health-related quality of life in predicting STS time in older adults. Clinicians can use these insights to develop interventions that maintain physical function by regularly assessing and monitoring these factors. Future research should explore the relationship between fall history, faster STS time, and the impact of grip strength and health-related quality of life on sedentary behavior among older adults.
