The relationship between LS3 and long-term care in Japan is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine this relationship. Methods: A total of 531 patients (314 women and 217 men; mean age, 75 years) who were not classified as requiring long-term care and underwent musculoskeletal examinations in 2012 were grouped according to their LS stage.
