Low relative sit-to-stand power is associated with history of falls and fractures, prospective hospitalization, and all-cause mortality in older adults from the Toledo study for healthy aging.

In women, there was a significant association between low relative STS power and hip fractures (OR = 3.25, 95%CI: 1.07–9.86; p = 0.038), and a strong trend towards an association with falls (OR = 1.38, 95%CI: 0.98–1.95; p = 0.065) and all-types of fractures (OR = 1.40, 95%CI: 0.98–1.99; p = 0.061) ( Fig. 3 B). 3.3 Comparison of hospitalizations and all-cause mortality between older adults with low and normal relative STS power Older men with low relative STS power showed a tendency towards a higher cumulative hospitalization incidence compared to those with normal relative STS power (62.6% vs. 56.5%, respectively; p = 0.077) ( Fig. 4 A).
