Operationalizing Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) with muscle strength and power: predicting adverse events in older adults from the ilsirente study
Results of the present study indicate that conventional SPPB, but not SPPB indexes operationalized according to lower limb muscle power, was significantly associated with the incidence of negative events in older adults. However, SPPB indexes were not good to identify older adults at higher risk of experiencing negative events.
