Relative muscle power

Relative muscle power predicts mobility limitation in humans (AUC 0.70, 95% CI 0.68–0.72).

“Relative muscle power demonstrated the highest discriminative ability [area under the curve 0.70; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.68-0.72], outperforming other indices.”

Relative muscle power raises the risk of walking difficulty in humans (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.78–2.42).

“Low relative muscle power was significantly associated with greater odds of walking difficulty (odds ratio 2.07; 95 % CI 1.78-2.42; p < 0.001).”
