Over up to six years, 64% of participants aged 70–79 with poor appetite developed lasting mobility difficulties, compared with 47% with good appetite.Over up to six years, 64% of participants aged 70–79 with poor appetite developed lasting mobility difficulties, compared with 47% with good appetite.
Later birth years were linked to higher capacity at entry than earlier birth years, with a model coefficient—a measure of association—of 0.797.Later birth years were linked to higher capacity at entry than earlier birth years, with a model coefficient—a measure of association—of 0.797.
