Abstract

This study aimed to clarify the factors that determine the mobility of elderly subjects

who participated in preventative care classes. Thirty-six subjects aged 65 years and

above who participated in preventative care classes were included. There were five

parameters: age at the time of participation, motor imagery test for children (N-type

test), single leg stance test, 30-second chair-stand test (CS-30), and Timed Up and

Go test (TUG). Next, multiple regression analyses were performed using the forced

entry method, with TUG as the dependent variable and the other parameters as

independent variables, and the relationship with TUG was investigated. Moreover,

multiple regression analyses were performed using the stepwise method. As a result,

the standardization coefficient of the N-type test was the highest as a factor related

to TUG. In addition, the N-type test and CS-30 were selected for multiple regression

analyses using the stepwise method. The obtained multiple regression equation was

TUG (seconds) = -0.560 × (N-type test) -0.214 × (CS-30) + 23.689. The multiple

correlation coefficient (R) was 0.81, coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.655, and

adjusted coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.635. Based on the above, the mobility

of elderly subjects who participated in the preventative care classes was most closely

related to the N-type test. Furthermore, it was suggested that the mobility of the

elderly subjects who participated in the preventative care classes could be predicted

using the N-type test and CS-30.
