6MWD was described for 1 year age groupings.
Twenty-six participants were recruited (mean age = 38.8 years; age range = 23 55 years).
A total of 186 lumbar vertebrae in 47 patients (mean age, 58 years; age range, 24 85 years) were analysed, 24 men (mean age, 55 years; age range, 24 85 years) and 23 women (mean age, 59 years; age range, 31 80 years).
The mean age of injury for boys was 8.97 years (age range 2 15 years), while for girls it was 5.98 years (age range 2 12 years).
Overall suicide cases were reported highest in 18- < 30 years age group (34.1%) while least among < 14 years age group (2.4%).
Twenty-four patients (51%) were men (mean age, 54.8 years; age range, 24 85 years) and 23 patients were women (mean age, 59.4 years; age range, 31 83 years).
The variables were subsequently compared beween the elderly patients (≥60 years) and those ≤ 60 years age.
Indirect standardisation used 5 years age intervals.
We varied t depending on the patient's age as follows: patients aged more than 80 years, t = the rest of the patient's lifetime; age 76 – 80 years, t = 10 years; age 66 – 75 years, t = 15 years; age 5665 65, t = 25 years; age 46 – 55 years, t = 30 years; age 36 – 45 years, t = 35 years; age 26 – 35 years, t = 40 years; age 18 – 25 years, t = 45 years.
Percentages per postcode were calculated for the following sociodemographic factors: females, age group 0 to 4 years, age group 5 to 14 years, age group 15 to 24 years, age group 25 to 39 years, age group 40 to 64 years, age group 65 to 74 years, age group 75 years and older, non-Western immigrants, low-income households, and single-person households.
