Abstract

Background: Locomotive syndrome (LS) is a condition of reduced mobility due to a disorder of the locomotive system. Increasing moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has been recommended to prevent LS. However, to increase daily MVPA is difficult for older people with LS. The MVPA consists of not only locomotive activities such as walking but also non-locomotive activities such as household activities. The aim of this study was to examine the associations between locomotive/non-locomotive MVPA and physical performance in older females with and without LS.

Methods: Participants of this cross-sectional study were 143 older community-dwelling Japanese females. The participants were divided into two groups based on the results of the stand-up test: the normal group (NL) (n = 86) and the LS group (n = 57). Both the locomotive and non-locomotive PA seperately measured with its intensity. The intensity of physical activity (PA) was calculated as METs and classified as sedentary behavior (SB 1-1.5 metabolic equivalent tasks (METs)), low-intensity physical activity (LPA 1.6-2.9 METs), and MVPA (≥ 3 METs). For example, locomotive LPA is slow walking speed of 54 m/min, and locomotive MVPA is walking speed of 67 m/min. While non-locomotive LPA is office work and cooking, non-locomotive MVPA is housecleaning. Physical function was evaluated by handgrip strength, walking speed, and 2-step test.

Results: Walking speed, hand-grip strength, 2-step test, daily step counts, and all PA measurements were not significantly different between two groups. In the LS, locomotive MVPA (r = 0.293, p < 0.05) and total MVPA (r = 0.299, p < 0.05) was significantly correlated with walking speed, but not in the NL.

Conclusions: Walking speed was positively correlated with locomotive MVPA and total MVPA in the LS group, but not in NL group. This result suggests that slow walking speed in older people with LS occur in connection with lower locomotive MVPA and total MVPA.

有和没有机车综合征的老年社区女性的机车和非机车体力活动与体力表现之间的关系：一项横断面研究。

背景:机车综合症(LS)是一种由于机车系统紊乱而导致的行动能力降低的状况。建议增加中度到剧烈的身体活动(MVPA)来预防LS。然而，对于老年LS患者来说，增加每日MVPA是很困难的。MVPA不仅包括步行等机车活动，还包括非机车活动，如家务活动。本研究的目的是研究机车性/非机车性MVPA与患有和不患有LS的老年女性身体表现之间的关系。方法:这项横断面研究的参与者是143名居住在日本社区的老年女性。根据站立测试的结果将参与者分为两组:正常组(NL) (n = 86)和LS组(n = 57)。机车PA和非机车PA分别测量其强度。体力活动强度(PA)以代谢当量(METs)计算，并分为久坐行为(SB 1-1.5代谢当量任务(METs))、低强度体力活动(LPA 1.6-2.9 METs)和MVPA(≥3 METs)。例如机车LPA为慢行速度54 m/min，机车MVPA为慢行速度67 m/min。非机车LPA是办公室工作和烹饪，非机车MVPA是房屋清洁。通过握力、步行速度和两步测试评估身体功能。结果:两组间行走速度、握力、两步测试、每日步数及所有PA测量均无显著差异。慢行区机车MVPA (r = 0.293, p < 0.05)和总MVPA (r = 0.299, p < 0.05)与步行速度显著相关，慢行区无显著相关。结论:步行速度与慢行组机车MVPA和总MVPA呈正相关，而慢行组无显著正相关。提示老年LS患者行走速度慢与下机车MVPA和总MVPA有关。

期刊介绍： Journal of Physiological Anthropology (JPA) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that publishes research on the physiological functions of modern mankind, with an emphasis on the physical and bio-cultural effects on human adaptability to the current environment. The objective of JPA is to evaluate physiological adaptations to modern living environments, and to publish research from different scientific fields concerned with environmental impact on human life. Topic areas include, but are not limited to: environmental physiology bio-cultural environment living environment epigenetic adaptation development and growth age and sex differences nutrition and morphology physical fitness and health Journal of Physiological Anthropology is the official journal of the Japan Society of Physiological Anthropology.
