Model-generated mean and 95% confidence interval estimates of 60-month decrease in 4 m gait speed are provided for each temporal pattern of sensory functioning. Those ‘consistently intact’ displayed intact function at both baseline and follow-up measurements. Those ‘progressing to impairment’ exhibited intact perception at baseline but were impaired at follow-up. Those ‘consistently impaired’ had sensory impairment at both time points. Estimates and 95% confidence intervals were derived from repeated measures ANOVA adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity count, use of walking aids, baseline Berg balance score, and diabetes
