AB  - Usual walking speed (WS) is a relatively easy and reproducible tool for detecting 
      mobility impairment. For some reasons, however, geriatric patients might not be 
      able to perform walking tests. Therefore, a subjective assessment could be an 
      alternative method to screen for mobility impairment. In the present paper, we 
      explore the use of the mobility item from the Mini Nutritional Assessment-short 
      form (MNA-sf) to assess mobility and its congruence with walking speed in 
      hospitalized and ambulatory patients. We analyzed retrospective data from 357 
      patients and found a highly significant correlation between WS and the MNA-sf 
      mobility item. After dichotomization of the MNA-sf mobility score (mobility 
      impairment </=1 and no impairment >1), AUC for ROC curves showed that the mobility 
      item derived from the MNA-sf reflects fairly well the mobility of geriatric 
      hospitalized patients (AUC = 0.773), while it performs better in ambulatory 
      patients (AUC = 0.838).
