“…Among these studies, the majority were conducted with community-dwelling (n = 16) and hospitalized (n = 13) older adults. Only one study was conducted in South America [23], and it was conducted with older adults treated at an outpatient clinic. The characteristics of the studies are presented in Table 1.…”

“…That being said, physical performance measures are essential for not only assessing functional status, but also for monitoring the overall clinical evolution of older adults. It is worth noting that the SPPB is an easily applicable instrument, and its ability to predict adverse health events such as dependence in activities of daily living (ADLs), hospitalization, frailty syndrome, and death has been investigated in several studies conducted with community-dwelling and outpatient older populations [23,24]. However, the capacity of this tool to predict mortality and the existence of a cut-off point for discriminating older adults at risk are still little discussed.…”

The association between the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score and several adverse health outcomes, including mortality, has been reported in the scientific literature. We conducted a comprehensive literature review of studies on the relationship between SPPB and mortality. The current paper synthesizes the characteristics and main findings of longitudinal studies available in the literature that investigated the role of the SPPB in predicting mortality in older adults. The studies (n = 40) are from North America, South America, Europe, and Asia; the majority (n = 16) were conducted with community-dwelling older adults and reported an association between lower SPPB scores and a higher risk of mortality, and between higher SPPB scores and higher survival. Nevertheless, few studies have analyzed the accuracy of the instrument to predict mortality. The only study that established cut-off points was conducted with older adults discharged from an acute care hospital. Although an SPPB score lower than 10 seems to predict all-cause mortality, further studies showing cut-off points in specific settings and loco-regional specificities are still necessary.

“…Physical performances, including upper-limb index (eg, handgrip strength) and lower-limb index (eg, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)), have proven to be crucial factors of intrinsic capacity in older adults 20–22. Substantial evidence shows that physical performances are strong and independent predictors of disability, with satisfactory validity in the older population 23 24.…”

IntroductionThe incidence and prevalence of disability and cognitive impairment, which are age-related, increase as China has become an ageing society. This study aims to establish the Shenzhen Ageing Cohort Study (SZ-ageing) to explore the epidemiological situation, risk factors and biomarkers of disability and cognitive impairment among Chinese elderly individuals.MethodsAbout 3000 participants aged 65 years and older are to be recruited from communities in Shenzhen by using a multistage sampling method. They will receive a baseline investigation between 2022 and 2024. The comprehensive data on disability and cognitive impairment will be collected by using standardised questionnaires, standardised scale assessments, clinical measurements and clinical laboratory tests. Active follow-up surveys with the same content as the baseline investigation will be conducted every 3 years.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval has been obtained from the ethics committee of the Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Control (SZCCC-2022-001-01-PJ; 21 February 2022). The research findings will be presented at professional conferences and submitted to peer-reviewed journals.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200060055).
