| Decreased lean muscle mass | Lean muscle mass by dual x-ray absorptiometry below −1 age- and sex-specific SD when compared with data from a national sample (NHANES) (16) | |||
| Decreased vitality | Score ≤40 (1 SD, based on a standard normal distribution; this represents approximately the lowest 6.7% of the general population) on the Vitality Subscale of the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form 36 (16). | |||
| Poor physical activity | Expended <383 Kcal/wk (males) or <270 Kcal/wk (females) during leisure time physical activity based on the NHANES Physical Activity Questionnaire (18, 19). | |||
| Walking speed (slowness) | Females <159 and males <173 centimeters tall were classified as slow if they took ≥7 seconds, and females ≥159 and males ≥173 centimeters tall were classified as slow if they took ≥6 seconds to walk 15 feet at their usual pace (20). | |||
