    Unadjusted prevalence (in percent) of major manifest limitation for the (A) 2-km walk, (B) 0.5-km walk, and (C) climbing up 1 flight of stairs during 24-month follow-up. NOTE. At baseline, the number of participants with preclinical mobility limitation in 2km was 140; in 0.5-km walk, 100; and in climbing up stairs, 178. Respectively, the numbers for participants with no limitation was 74, 166, and 59, and for participants with minor manifest limitation 52, 36, and 58.
