Chronological age (CA) is an insufficiently sensitive measure of senescence because it cannot distinguish between individuals who share the same CA but differ in physiological and/or functional status. The purpose of this study was to develop an age index for assessing functional fitness applicable to older Japanese and Korean women. The subjects were 429 (176 Japanese and 253 Korean) women, aged 65 to 85 years. Seventeen items related to functional fitness were measured. In order to combine all of the variables into a single expression, the principal component analysis was applied to the 17×17 correlation matrix. The first principal component was significantly loaded with all variables, and explained 36.3% of the total variance . The first principal component score (FPCS) showed a siginificant correlation (r= - 0.582) with CA, and was used as an overall index of age-related changes in functional capacity. The individual FPCS were transformed to functional fitness age (FFA). The equation developed for est mation of functional fitness in older Japanese and Korean women was FFA = - 4.92FFS + 72.98, FFS =-0 .035X1 + 0.049X2 + 0.032X3 - 0.132X4 + 0.049X5 -1.84; where FFS = functional fitness score, X1 = walking around two cones in a figure 8, X2 = manipulating pegs in a pegboard, X3 = functional reach, X4= standing up from a supine position, X5= grip strength. Correlation coefficient between FFA and CA was 0.580 (P< 0.05). This index is thus judged valid for discrimination between older Japanese and Korean women who share the same CA but differ in functional status.
