Iwama et al developed equations for predicting the six minute walking distance (6MWD) in healthy Brazilians. The authors are from Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo and Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil.
Patient selection: age 13 to 84 years
Parameters:
(1) age in years
(2) gender (0 if female, 1 if male)
predicted distance in meters =
= (61.503 * (points for gender)) - (1.846 * (age)) + 622.461
