OBJECTIVES: Walking disability affects older people's autonomy and well-being. We investigated the relative effect of common chronic diseases and general impairments on walking disability in the general oldest-old population. DESIGN: Population-based cohort study.

Persons with a walking time below the 25th percentile and those who were physically unable to perform the walking test were categorized as having a walking disability. Information on common chronic diseases was obtained from records of subjects' general practitioners and pharmacies. Ge...
