Relationship between locomotive syndrome risk test and height and weight in infancy and toddlerhood: a preliminary study
A weak-to-moderate relationship was found between LS and height and weight in infancy and toddlerhood. These findings suggest that preventive measures for LS should not be delayed until adulthood; rather, early-life interventions beginning in infancy, toddlerhood, and childhood may be crucial.
