Implication

Cross-sectional study finds significant links between LSMAI and TUG performance in older adults, indicating potential interventions for balance improvement.

Key Points

A significant association exists between leg skeletal muscle mass asymmetry index and TUG performance.
The standardized coefficient for the correlation between LSMAI and TUG was found to be 0.31, p = .009.
The study involved 122 community-dwelling older adults, averaging 75 years of age, to assess muscle mass asymmetry.
Assessing LSMAI is crucial for understanding dynamic posture control capabilities in older adults.
