Muscle Quality and Prone Stand Ability in 376 Older Adults

A study of 376 community-dwelling older adults (70.47 ± 6.95 years; 234 women, 142 men) examined the relationship between muscle quality index and the ability to stand from a prone position. The dataset was authored by Álvaro Huerta and last updated on 2026-05-28. It is available as an 80.7 KB XLSX file under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between muscle quality index and functional ability based on prone stand performance.
• Analyzing age and sex differences in muscle quality and functional capacity within an older adult population.
• Developing predictive models for functional decline based on muscle quality metrics mentioned in the study.

Strengths

• Includes data from 376 participants, providing a substantial sample size.
• Contains specific demographic breakdowns: 234 women and 142 men with a mean age of 70.47 ± 6.95 years.
• Explicitly licensed as CC-BY-4.0, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
