The 6-min walk distance in healthy subjects: reference standards from seven countries
Open accessAbstract
The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) predicted values have been derived from small cohorts mostly from single countries. The aim of the present study was to investigate differences between countries and identify new reference values to improve 6MWD interpretation. We studied 444 subjects (238 males) from seven countries (10 centres) ranging 40–80 yrs of age. We measured 6MWD, height, weight, spirometry, heart rate (HR), maximum HR (HR max) during the 6-min walk test/the predicted maximum HR (HR max% pred), Borg dyspnoea score and oxygen saturation. The mean±sd 6MWD was 571±90 m (range 380–782 m). Males walked 30 m more than females (p<0.001). A multiple regression model for the 6MWD included age, sex, height, weight and HR max% pred (adjusted r 2= 0.38; p<0.001), but there was variability across centres (adjusted r 2= 0.09–0.73) and its routine use is not recommended. Age had a great impact in 6MWD independent of the centres, declining significantly in the older population (p<0.001). Age-specific reference standards of 6MWD were constructed for male and female adults. In healthy subjects, there were geographic variations in 6MWD and caution must be taken when using existing predictive equations. The present study provides new 6MWD standard curves that could be useful in the care of adult patients with chronic diseases.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
