Abstract

Background and aims: One of the most prevalent and significant syndromes affecting the elderly is frailty syndrome, which plays a crucial role in their quality of life and overall health status. While this syndrome can be viewed as a natural part of the aging process, it can actually be identified, prevented, and treated. This study investigated the ability of motor function tests to predict frailty and related disorders in elderly men. Methods: A total of 100 elderly men over 65 years of age from Kerman city were selected using an available sampling method. All participants completed the Tilburg Vulnerability Index (TFI) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Following this, motor function tests, including the Timed Up and Go (TUG), Chair Stand, Arm Curl, and Stork Stand tests, were conducted. Data analysis was performed using the Shapiro-Wilk test and logistic regression. Additionally, the sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off points of the tests were evaluated. Results: The results indicated that a TUG test time greater than 8. 50 seconds, a Chair Stand test score below 10, an Arm Curl test score under 14, a Stork Stand test time less than 15. 50 seconds, and an IPAQ score below 320. 91 are associated with an increased susceptibility to frailty in elderly men. Conclusion: Overall, the findings of this study demonstrate that the TUG, Chair Stand, Arm Curl, Stork Stand tests, and IPAQ can effectively predict frailty in elderly men. Therefore, it is recommended to utilize these tests as screening tools for frailty in this population.
