Timed Up-and-Go Test Association with Fracture Risk Meta-Analysis

1,639,397 participants were analyzed across six prospective cohort studies. This systematic review and meta-analysis synthesizes evidence on the association between slower Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test performance and fracture risk in older people. The dataset is a PDF document authored by Jordan Hernandez-Martínez, last updated on 2026-05-11.

Use Cases

• Assessing the predictive value of functional mobility tests for fracture risk based on pooled hazard ratios.
• Conducting secondary meta-analyses on the association between TUG scores and specific fracture types.
• Informing clinical guidelines for fall and fracture prevention in older populations based on synthesized evidence.

Strengths

• Pooled data from over 1.6 million participants across six studies.
• Provides specific hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals for hip, vertebral, and overall fractures.
• Systematic review methodology is documented with a PROSPERO registration identifier.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 99.6 KB PDF; the underlying tabular meta-analysis data is not directly accessible.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the PDF.
• Row count for the original studies is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
