AB  - AIM: This study aimed to calculate the minimal clinically important difference 
      (MCID) for a modified Gait Efficacy Scale (mGES) over 3 years and to clarify the 
      predictors of mGES decline. METHODS: In total, 87 community-dwelling older adults 
      were enrolled in this 3-year longitudinal study. The mGES, fall history and 
      physical function (chair stand frequency, open-eyes one-leg stand, open-close 
      stepping test, walking speed, walking endurance [shuttle stamina walk test] and 
      physical activity) were assessed at baseline. After a 3-year follow-up period, 
      the mGES and Global Rating of Change Scale were assessed. The MCID was calculated 
      using anchor-based methods, with the Global Rating of Change Scale as an anchor. 
      The participants were classified into the decline and keep groups based on 
      whether the changes in the mGES were greater than the MCID. A logistic regression 
      analysis was conducted using the mGES as the dependent variable and physical 
      characteristics, fall history, and physical function as independent variables. 
      RESULTS: The MCID for the mGES over 3 years was -7.38 points. A logistic 
      regression analysis identified low open-close stepping (odds ratio, 0.87; 95% 
      confidence interval, 0.782-0.985; P = 0.027) and the shuttle stamina walk test 
      (odds ratio, 0.974; 95% confidence interval, 0.949-1.000; P = 0.049) as 
      predictors of the mGES decline. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that a change 
      of 7.38 points in the mGES was clinically significant and that poor agility and 
      walking endurance can predict future decline in the mGES. Geriatr Gerontol Int
