About this deal

Updated reference values for performance-based physical function are important, as they characterize what is normal in a defined population at a specific point or period. 51 For clinicians, such reference values are important because a clinical test score without a reference value is difficult to interpret. Percentiles indicate a person’s performance relative to the expected level for their age, sex, and other characteristics. 52 In research, we rely on reference values to evaluate individual or group scores to observe how the scores compare to the group’s average values for age, country, sex, or other characteristics. 53 Reference values give meaning to a clinical test score and enable clinicians to create treatment goals or to tailor treatment for individual patients. 51 In addition to reference values for the general population, it may also be of interest to obtain reference values for subgroups in the population. For example, it is valuable to see how groups with highly prevalent diseases score in comparison to the general population. This difference may be explained by country-specific differences, such as socioeconomic status. 46 Research has shown that socioeconomic status is associated with later-life physical performance. 47–49 In contrast with Malaysia, Norway is characterized by a high level of welfare, as it has one of the highest levels of income per capita in the world, and 34% of the population have tertiary education (ie a university or college). 50 In the video above, Audrey Ricahardson and Louise McGregor demonstrate the timed up and go test, which helps to assess whether a person is at an increased risk of falls.

If there are queues outside a Tube station, customers who identify themselves as disabled should be allowed to enter the station without queueing - this includes carers and assistants accompanying you. Make yourself known to a member of staff. This study is, to the authors’ knowledge, among the largest of its kind in which the TUG testing procedure is consistent with the original protocol of Podsiadlo and Richardson which represents the most widely used version of the TUG, 54 and used in recent large-scale population-based studies. 36 , 37 The large number of participants in this study is a strength as it enables us to establish reference values for subgroups of the general population by age and sex as well as by the presence of arthritis or NCD. Another strength of this study is that the TUG testing was performed by trained health professionals. In addition, an administration manual was provided to help ensure test standardization. Furthermore, all tests were performed at the same location, increasing the validity of the reference values. This is important, as TUG scores across different studies can be difficult to compare due to procedural differences. Some researchers 55 , 56 have raised concerns about the comparability of TUG scores if the testing procedure was not performed in the same manner, which might make the pooling of data difficult.Owing in part to its ease of use, association with fall risk and sensitivity, the TUG test is recommended by the Updated American Geriatrics Society/British Geriatrics Society Clinical Practice Guideline for Prevention of Falls in Older Persons. 33 For the assessment of physical function in people with hip or knee arthritis, the TUG test is one of the five performance-based outcome measures recommended by the Osteoarthritis Research Society International. 34 TUG performance has further been studied in various populations with different pathological conditions, such as osteoarthritis 19 and non-communicable diseases (NCDs). 20–22 Osteoarthritis is associated with low physical performance 23 and is considered a significant contributor to global disability and disability-adjusted life years. 24 For patients undergoing total joint replacement due to late-stage hip or knee osteoarthritis, a high TUG score may predict delayed postoperative functional recovery for total hip 25 and knee replacement. 26 The four main types of NCDs are cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cardiovascular disease. NCDs are associated with poorer performance on physical outcome measures. 27–30 These four main types are the world’s leading cause of disabilities, 31 contributing to a significant economic burden. 32 The dairy-free version is in between the standard and no added sugar option but unlike those flavours, it is both dairy and gluten-free.

It’s hard to know how much of the sugar is lactose as it’s not listed on the label but based on the ingredients list it’s likely been added to the standard vanilla whereas sweeteners are used for the no added sugar version. The present study provides updated reference values for TUG scores in community-dwelling older adults in Norway, by age, sex, and disease status. TUG scores increased with age, and the increase was especially prominent after 65 years of age. Participants with arthritis or NCDs performed significantly poorer on the TUG test after age 65 years than did participants without these diseases. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first large-scale population-based study providing sex- and age-specific percentile reference values for TUG among participants with arthritis or NCDs. Our staff is trained to give assistance to customers, including guiding visually-impaired customers by the arm and assisting wheelchair users by pushing the chair if needed.If you use the app to book, you will still need to pay for your journey separately in the usual way. The no added sugar vanilla contains 8.1g protein, 3.7g fat, 15.5g total carbs of which 10.1g has been highlighted as lactose. There is also 4g of dietary fibre. So, similar protein and fat content to the standard vanilla but over 12g, or 3 teaspoons, less sugar. Physical function is a strong biomarker of health in older adults. 1 Physical function declines with age, and some of the first signs of functional decline are reduced mobility, loss of muscular strength, and difficulties in performing daily activities, 2 of which mobility is the most important factor for maintaining independence. 3 The assessment of physical function can be useful for several purposes, such as to identify a decline in physical function, monitor the effect of exercise interventions, and provide specific information regarding physical domains, eg strength, balance and mobility. Performance-based outcome measures or standardized observer-rated observations are important tools for evaluating performance in clinical intervention practice and research studies as well as for identifying impairment. 4 , 5 The identification of mobility impairments requires normative reference values to which an individual’s mobility score measurements can be compared. 6 Everyone is welcome to use our turn up and go service - it's popular with customers with visual impairments, mobility impairments and groups, including school groups. There is no need to pre-book the turn up and go service, just turn up at the station and ask staff for assistance. At the youngest ages, until about age 65 years, in both men and women, there were no differences in TUG performance for those with NCD or arthritis compared to those without these diseases ( Table 2, Figure 1). After age 65 years, however, those without these diseases performed significantly better than those with these diseases (p<0.05) in both men and women. For all three groups, TUG performance score increased with age, especially after the age of 65 years. However, the onset of this increase in TUG performance score occurred at a later age among men without arthritis or NCDs compared to those with such diseases ( Figure 1).
