In this paper, we analyze physical performance, anthropometric measurements, and health biomarkers in a population of 191 elder people from Maresme region in Spain. Our study aims to examine the relationship between chronological age, biological age, and various physical capability indicators to understand better the aging process and its impact on physical health. We measured several physical performance indicators, including handgrip strength, gait speed, and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), among others. Our findings suggest a moderate correlation between age and physical performance metrics, with distinct differences between males and females. Notably, handgrip strength and gait speed decrease with age, while the time required to complete the TUG test increases.

摘要

In this paper, we analyze physical performance, anthropometric measurements, and health biomarkers in a population of 191 elder people from Maresme region in Spain. Our study aims to examine the relationship between chronological age, biological age, and various physical capability indicators to understand better the aging process and its impact on physical health. We measured several physical performance indicators, including handgrip strength, gait speed, and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), among others. Our findings suggest a moderate correlation between age and physical performance metrics, with distinct differences between males and females. Notably, handgrip strength and gait speed decrease with age, while the time required to complete the TUG test increases.
