Abstract
Physical function assessed at a single time point is a robust predictor of all-cause long-term mortality in community-dwelling older men. Yet, repeated assessments of physical function can provide prognostic information beyond that available from single initial assessment. However, with repeated assessments, most prognostic information can be found in the final assessment of physical function.
