Bohannon et al reported equations for estimating the 2-minute walking distance (2MWD) for a healthy adult. The authors are from the University of Connecticut, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and Northwestern University.
Patient selection: adult from 18 to 85 years of age
Parameter:
(1) gender
(2) age in years
(3) body mass index (BMI) in kilograms for square meter
predicted 2MWD for a female =
= 257.177 - (0.723 * (age)) - (1.688 * (BMI))
predicted 2MWD for a male =
= 279.096 - (0.998 * (age)) - (1.426 * (BMI))
