Figure 2 Area under curve (AUC) of performance-based models in discriminating new onset of any-falls and recurrent-falls. (A) ROC of all significant functional models in screening any-fallers. (B) ROC of all significant functional models in screening recurrent-fallers. “TUGT+” <10.31 s, “TUGT–” >10.31 s; “GS+” >0.3742 kg/kg, “GS–” <0.3742 kg/kg; “WS+” >0.9467 m/s, “WS–” <0.9467 m/s.

Abbreviations: TUGT, timed up and go test; GS, grip strength/weight; WS, four-m walking speed.
