Reference equations for the six-minute walk in healthy adults.
In order to establish reference equations for prediction of the total distance walked during six minutes (6MWD) for healthy adults, we administered the standardized 6-min walk test to 117 healthy men and 173 healthy women, aged 40 to 80 yr. Oxygen saturation (SaO2), pulse rate, and the degree of dyspnea (Borg scale) were determined before and at the end of the walk. The median distance walked w...
متن کاملReference Equations for the Six-Minute Walk Distance in Healthy Korean Adults, Aged 22-59 Years
BACKGROUND The six-minute walk test has been widely used in people with chronic cardiopulmonary disorders as an outcome assessment with regards to therapeutic or prognostic determinants. This study was undertaken to determine the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in a sample of healthy Koreans and to create a reference equation. We also compared the 6MWD of our cohort with previously published eq...
متن کاملThe six-minute walk test and body weight-walk distance product in healthy Brazilian subjects.
We assessed the 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and body weight x distance product (6MWw) in healthy Brazilian subjects and compared measured 6MWD with values predicted in five reference equations developed for other populations. Anthropometry, spirometry, reported physical activity, and two walk tests in a 30-m corridor were evaluated in 134 subjects (73 females, 13-84 years). Mean 6MWD and 6MWw we...
متن کاملSix-minute walk test performance in healthy adult Pakistani volunteers.
OBJECTIVE To determine the six-minute walking distance (6MWD) for healthy Pakistanis, identify factors affecting 6MWD, compare published equations with the local data and derive an equation. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Two medical institutes of Karachi, from January to May 2011. METHODOLOGY Subjects between 15 and 65 years were prospectively enrolled af...
متن کاملSix-minute walk test: reference values for healthy adults in Brazil.
OBJECTIVE To develop regression equations for six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in healthy adults (20-80 years of age) in Brazil. METHODS We included 132 volunteers (66 males) without respiratory disease, cardiac disease, or comorbidities that affect ambulation. The volunteers completed three six-minute walk tests. Prior to and at the end of each test, we obtained SpO2 and maximal HR, as well a...
