It is well known that decreased physical performance induces the decreased activity of daily living and increment of mortality rate in elderly subjects. On the other hand, a prolonged heart rate corrected-QT (QTc) interval is associated with an increased risk of cardiac sudden death and cardiac autonomic dysfunction. We investigated the associations between physical performance and QTc interval in elderly subjects. The subjects included 605 elderly persons (274 men and 331 women, age; 71.2±4.7 years) without a history of cardiovascular disease and taking cardioactive drugs. Resting 12-leads electrocardiography was measured after more than 5 minutes of rest. The QTc interval was calculated according to Bazett’s formula. The physical fitness test was performed to determine the physical performance (muscle strength, balance and walking abilities). The subjects were divided into four categories, which were defined as equally quantile distributions of QTc interval. The physical performance levels were significantly lower in the longest QTc interval group compared to the shortest QTc interval group in both men and women (p<0.05, respectively). Moreover, after adjusting for the age, the physical performance levels were significantly lower in the longest QTc interval group compared to the shortest QTc interval group, especially, this relationship was observed in late-stage elderly group (p<0.05, respectively). These results suggest that decreased physical performance levels were also associated with prolonged QTc interval in elderly subjects.
