| contents | <p>With aging, a reduction in lower limb (LL) muscle strength is <br>common, compromising mobility. This study aimed to analyze a possible reduction <br>in LL muscle strength and determine whether it is associated with current <br>demographic and health factors in older adults. The sample consisted of 21 <br>participants in a longitudinal project, assessed between 2014 and 2016 (T1) and <br>reassessed between 2023 and 2024 (T2). Data from the five-times chair stand-to<br>sit test and questionnaires were analyzed. The mean time difference was 1.77 <br>(SD=7.1) seconds, and it showed a moderate and positive correlation with the <br>number of falls (r=0.517; p=0.024) at T2. It was concluded that participants who <br>experienced increased test time reported more falls. </p> |
