a Walking distance was classified into 3 categories: around the house, seldom further than 1 km, and regularly further than 1 km.
b Sum score for muscle strength of the legs was calculated by adding 16 muscle groups. Each muscle group had a score between 0 and 5, sum score ranged from 0 to 80 [19].
c Sum score for muscle strength of the arms was calculated by adding 10 muscle groups. Each muscle group had a score between 0 and 5, sum score ranged from 0 to 50 [19].
