Dourado et al reported equations for predicting the incremental shuttle walking distance (ISWD) in healthy adults in Brazil. The authors are from Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo in Brazil.
Patient selection: healthy adults >= 40 years of age
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) weight in kilograms
(3) height in meters
(4) gender (female 0, male 1)
(5) handgrip strength in kilograms
predicted distance in meters =
= (114.387 * (points for gender)) + (553.336 * (height in meter)) - (2.949 * (weight in kilograms)) - (4.384 * (age in years)) + 34.608
predicted distance in meters from handgrip strength alone =
= (10.1 * (handgrip strength)) + 138.4
predicted distance in meters =
= (6.321 * (handgrip strength)) + (575.101 * (height in meter)) - (3.259 * (weight in kilograms)) - (2.833 * (age in years)) - 243.867
