Gait Speed
Higher values carry lower risk. Not measured in our NHANES panel; the curve is synthesised from the published association.
Hazard ratio relative to the curve's reference value, as synthesised from the published association.
Published hazard ratio0.73per SD (95% CI 0.87–0.90) · Pooled analysis of individual data from 9 cohort studies of community-dwelling older adults, total n=34,485, mean age 73.5 years, follow-up 6-21 years, 17,528 deaths
