Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the relationship of gait speed with dynapenic or sarcopenic obesity in community-dwelling older people. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is slow walking speed related to overweight in older people in the community?
* Is slow walking speed related to dynapenic obesity in older people in the community?
* Is gait speed related to sarcopenic obesity in older people in the community?

Participants will answer a clinical interview to obtain sociodemographic data and will perform the following clinical tests: (1) 10-meter walk test, (2) Anthropometric measurement; (3) Handgrip dynamometry test, (4) Standing dynamometry test and (5) Physical functionality questionnaires.
