Description
Summary:This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of locomotive syndrome (LS) risk in age groups using the LS risk test proposed by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association. Based on this, this study identified the lifestyle-related signs that lead to LS, by clarifying the association between LS risk and lifestyle factors. A total of 728 individuals aged 20–91 years who were without specific mobility disorders were evaluated. Participants were asked to perform the LS risk test and complete a self-administered original questionnaire survey for this study. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to examine the relationships of sex and age with LS. The prevalence of LS by sex and age was compared using the Chi-squared test or Student's t-test, as appropriate. The Mantel–Haenszel test was used to examine the relationship of each component of the lifestyle factors. Overall, 36.4% of males and 49.1% of females were classified into the LS group; the prevalence of LS was significantly higher in females than males (p
