Abstrakt: Background: The purpose of this study was to examine whether select baseline characteristics influenced the likelihood of an overweight/obese, older adult experiencing a clinically meaningful gait speed response (±0.05 m/s) to caloric restriction (CR).Methods: Individual level data from 1 188 older adults participating in 8, 5/6-month, weight loss interventions were pooled, with treatment arms collapsed into CR (n = 667) or no CR (NoCR; n = 521) categories. Exercise assignment was equally distributed across groups (CR: 65.3% vs NoCR: 65.4%) and did not interact with CR (p = .88). Poisson risk ratios (95% confidence interval [CI]) were used to examine whether CR assignment interacted with select baseline characteristic subgroups: age (≥65 years), sex (female/male), race (Black/White), body mass index (BMI; ≥35 kg/m2), comorbidity (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease) status (yes/no), gait speed (<1.0 m/s), or inflammatory burden (C-reactive protein ≥3 mg/L, interleukin-6 ≥2.5 pg/mL) to influence achievement of ±0.05 m/s fast-paced gait speed change. Main effects were also examined.Results: The study sample (69.5% female, 80.1% White) was 67.6 ± 5.3 years old with a BMI of 33.8 ± 4.4 kg/m2. Average weight loss achieved in the CR versus NoCR group was -8.3 ± 5.9% versus -1.1 ± 3.8%; p < .01. No main effect of CR was observed on the likelihood of achieving a clinically meaningful gait speed improvement (risk ratio [RR]: 1.09 [95% CI: 0.93, 1.27]) or gait speed decrement (RR: 0.77 [95% CI: 0.57, 1.04]). Interaction effects were nonsignificant across all subgroups.Conclusion: The proportion of individuals experiencing a clinically meaningful gait speed change was similar for CR and NoCR conditions. This finding is consistent across several baseline subgroupings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
