The inability to complete the balance test rose with age, more or less doubling at subsequent 5-year intervals from the age range of 51 to 55 and onward. More than half (around 54%) of study participants ages 71 to 75 were unable to complete the test, compared with 5% in the lowest age bracket who couldn't do it.
未能完成平衡测试的情况随着年龄增长而增多，51岁到55岁及以上年龄段在随后五年间做不到的人数几乎翻倍。超半数（约54%）年龄在71岁到75岁之间的研究参与者未能完成测试，相比之下，年龄最小的参与者只有5%做不到。
