Clinically meaningful change for the chair stand test: monitoring mobility in integrated care for older people.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Clinically meaningful changes in the five-repetition chair stand test are essential for monitoring mobility in integrated care for older people. Recommendations for the clinically meaningful change of the chair stand test are not well known. Our study aimed to estimate the absolute and relative clinically meaningful changes for older adults' five-repetition chair stand test.

Methods

We applied distribution-based and anchor-based methods in addition to receiver operator characteristics analyses to a population-based study of community-dwelling adults (SAGE Mexico study, n = 897) to derive the clinically meaningful change in the chair stand test. We used three self-reported clinical anchors: moving around, vigorous activities, and walking 1 km. Our primary outcome w
