Method · Limits of application
Enright/Sherrill 1998:sex, age, height/weight regression,40–80 years; LLN−153/−139m
The Enright/Sherrill equations were derived in healthy adults aged 40–80 years for a first test using the standardized protocol. They explain approximately 40% of distance variability. Prediction and percentage are not a diagnosis; age outside the range or a different protocol requires another appropriate reference.
Conditions of use
Check the population, units, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and version in the original source. A result alone does not establish a diagnosis, discharge decision or prescription.
