The 6-Minute Walk Test: DIFFERENCE IN EXPLANATORY VARIABLES FOR PERFORMANCE BY COMMUNITY-DWELLING OLDER ADULTS AND PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED FOR CARDIAC DISEASE

Conclusions: The present findings indicated that the 6MWD was more strongly associated with 10-m usual walking speed in patients hospitalized for cardiac disease than in community-dwelling older adults. The predictive validity of 10-m walking speed for future adverse outcomes among cardiac patients is an issue for future research.
