Results For each of the three measures of physical capability (grip strength, chair rise speed, and standing balance time) those participants unable to perform the test and those in the lowest performing fifth were found to have higher mortality rates than those in the highest fifth.
In general, for each of the separate area level measures the more disadvantaged the local government district in which a cohort member resided at age of 53 years (1999), the worse their standing balance and chair rise capability at the same age, with a stronger relationship for balance than for chair rise (Table 5).

Objective measures of physical capability, such as grip strength, chair-rise performance, and balance (8), have been shown to be predictors of disability (9) but have not been considered in relation to area characteristics.
Objective measures were height, weight and three measures of physical capability: grip strength, standing balance time and chair rises.
In cross-sectional analyses, a clear relationship was seen between living in a socioeconomically deprived neighborhood and poorer chair rise and standing balance capability at 53 years of age.
Associations between objective measures of physical capability (i.e. grip strength, walking speed, chair rise time and standing balance performance) and all-cause mortality in community-dwelling populations have been demonstrated.
Objective measures of physical capability such as grip strength, walking speed, timed chair stands and standing balance discern a range of function amongst non-disabled older adults [ 4] and lower physical capability has been associated with a higher risk of future institutionalisation, disability and death [ 5, 6].
