概要	The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between locomotive syndrome (LS) and subjective walking speed in adults who underwent health checkups. We conducted a cross-sectional study of adults who underwent medical checkups at Omiya City Clinic in 2023. A total of 34,935 participants (females, 13,991 [40.0%]; mean age, 50.1 ± 9.7 years) were analyzed. To investigate the relationship between LS and subjective walking speed, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), controlling for lifestyle factors and comorbidities. Subjective slow walking was associated with LS-1 or more (OR = 1.51; 95% CI 1.43–1.60) and LS-2 or more (OR = 2.49; 95% CI 2.12–2.91). Adults with subjective slow walking speed should undertake LS risk tests to accurately identify and assess the decline in mobility.
