Association of Shorter Secondary One-Leg Standing Time With Loss of Independence or Death in Community-Dwelling Older Adults in the Aizu Cohort Study (LOHAS)

Although a previous report indicated that the primary one-leg standing time (OLST), defined as the longer OLST of both legs, is associated with death, the association between secondary OLSTs (the shorter OLSTs) and death remains unclear. This study investigated the association between secondary OLSTs and the loss of independence (LOI) or death.
