Community walking speed as a new predictor of disability incidence in older adults: A prospective cohort study
LWS and CWS were found to be independently associated with disability. Further research must determine how CWS should be interpreted, because participants who showed discrepancies between CWS and LWS did not exhibit a significant association with incident disability. Healthcare providers could use either CWS and LWS as a significant indicator in healthcare practice for older populations.
