Incidence of decreased gait speed in older patients with chronic liver disease, classified according to the fibrosis 4 (FIB-4) index. The incidence of decreased gait speed in older patients with chronic liver disease classified using the FIB-4 index was 17% in the low FIB-4 index group (FIB-4 index < 2.0), 22% in the medium FIB-4 index group (2.0 < FIB-4 index < 2.67), and 41% in the high FIB-4 index group (> 2.67). The decreased gait speed was significantly higher in the high FIB-4 index group compared to the low FIB-4 index group (p = 0.014). In total, 5.56% and 17.46% patients in the low and high FIB-4 index groups, respectively, show a gait speed of 0.6–0.8 m/s, 8.33% and 23.81% patients in the low and high FIB-4 index groups, respectively, show a gait speed of 0.8–1.0 m/s, and 52.78% and 31.75% patients in the low and high FIB-4 index groups, respectively, show a gait speed of 1.0–1.2 m/s.
