  1. Stand-up test score is expressed as the height of the lowest stool from which the subject was able to stand-up: all failed = 0, 40 cm with both legs = 1, 30 cm with both legs = 2, 20 cm with both legs = 3, 10 cm with both legs = 4, 40 cm with a single-leg = 5, 30 cm with a single-leg = 6, 20 cm with a single-leg = 7, and 10 cm with a single-leg = 8. Two-step test score was calculated by normalising the maximal length of two steps taken by the participant by his/her height; 25-question GLFS 25-question geriatric locomotive function scale
