Résumé
No studies have provided statistical evidence of the relationship between comorbidities and locomotive syndrome (LS). We therefore investigated the association of comorbidities with the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25) and the diagnosis of LS in community-dwelling residents. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 2612 community-dwelling residents (≥40 years old) who attended a 'basic health checkup'. There were 432 participants with comorbidities (45 with cerebrovascular diseases, 133 with cardiovascular diseases, 83 with pulmonary diseases, 108 with renal diseases, and 63 with multiple diseases) and 2180 participants without comorbidities. Subjects with a GLFS-25 total score of ≤6 points, 7-15 points, 16-23 points, and ≥24 points were diagnosed with non-LS, LS-1, LS-2, and LS-3, respectively. The domain scores covered body pain (items 1-4), movement-related difficulty (items 5-7), usual care (items 8-11 and 14), social activities (items 12, 13, and 15-23), and cognition (items 24 and 25). A multivariate regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the association between the GLFS-25 scores and comorbidities and between the diagnosis of LS and comorbidities after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status. A multivariate regression analysis showed that comorbidities were significantly related to the GLFS-25 total score and all domain scores. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that comorbidities were significantly related to a diagnosis of LS-1 or more, LS-2 or more, and LS-3 or more. Comorbidities were associated with increased GLFS-25 domain scores and total score and consequent diagnosis of LS. Therefore, attention should also be paid to the presence of comorbidities when diagnosing LS. Nevertheless, the causal relationship between comorbidities and the GLFS-25 remains unclear, and further studies are therefore required.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
No studies have provided statistical evidence of the relationship between comorbidities and locomotive syndrome (LS). We therefore investigated the association of comorbidities with the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale (GLFS-25) and the diagnosis of LS in community-dwelling residents.
METHODS
METHODS
This cross-sectional study was conducted on 2612 community-dwelling residents (≥40 years old) who attended a 'basic health checkup'. There were 432 participants with comorbidities (45 with cerebrovascular diseases, 133 with cardiovascular diseases, 83 with pulmonary diseases, 108 with renal diseases, and 63 with multiple diseases) and 2180 participants without comorbidities. Subjects with a GLFS-25 total score of ≤6 points, 7-15 points, 16-23 points, and ≥24 points were diagnosed with non-LS, LS-1, LS-2, and LS-3, respectively. The domain scores covered body pain (items 1-4), movement-related difficulty (items 5-7), usual care (items 8-11 and 14), social activities (items 12, 13, and 15-23), and cognition (items 24 and 25). A multivariate regression analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to assess the association between the GLFS-25 scores and comorbidities and between the diagnosis of LS and comorbidities after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, and smoking status.
RESULTS
RESULTS
A multivariate regression analysis showed that comorbidities were significantly related to the GLFS-25 total score and all domain scores. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that comorbidities were significantly related to a diagnosis of LS-1 or more, LS-2 or more, and LS-3 or more.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Comorbidities were associated with increased GLFS-25 domain scores and total score and consequent diagnosis of LS. Therefore, attention should also be paid to the presence of comorbidities when diagnosing LS. Nevertheless, the causal relationship between comorbidities and the GLFS-25 remains unclear, and further studies are therefore required.
