Table 1.
Baseline characteristics of the study population at age 85 years stratified according to the number of abnormal laboratory results.

Univariate all-cause mortality risks for sex-dependent quartiles of laboratory results included in the laboratory profile (n = 562).
Figure 1.
Kaplan Meier cumulative mortality curves for all cause mortality according to the three models.
(A) laboratory profile based on sex specific quartiles of the seven included laboratory values, (B) sex specific quartiles of gait speed and (C) sex specific quartiles of instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) at age 85 years. A - - - no laboratory abnormalities n = 144, -----1 laboratory abnormality n = 165, -----2–4 laboratory abnormalities n = 216, -----5–7 laboratory abnormalities n = 37. B - - - 6-meter gait speed male 0.69 –1.37 m/s; female 0.89–1.61 m/s n = 139, ----- 6-meter gait speed male 1.38–1.81 m/s; female 1.61–2.15 m/s n = 142, ----- 6-meter gait speed male 1.81–2.81 m/s; female 2.16–3.95 n = 141, -----6-meter gait speed male 2.91–13.0 m/s; female 4.00–13.00 m/s n = 140. C - - - IADL-score male 9–11; female 9–12 n = 136, ----- IADL-score male 12–16; female 13–18 n = 141, ----- IADL-score male 17–24; female 19–28 n = 145, ----- IADL-score male 25–36; female 29–36 n = 139.

All-cause and cause-specific absolute and relative mortality risk stratified for sex-dependent quartiles of the laboratory profile, IADL disability score and 6-meter gait speed.
Figure 2.
Performance of the three models for 5-year all-cause mortality in 562 participants aged 85 years.
The three models were based on the profile of laboratory abnormalities, sex-dependent quartiles of gait speed and sex-dependent quartiles of the IADL-disability score. ----- Laboratory profile - - - Gait speed . . . IADL-disability score.
