Background: Locomotive syndrome is closely related to the state of long-term care. This study aimed to longitudinally evaluate long-term care certification occurrence in locomotive syndrome using data from the Miyagawa study.Methods: The study included 470 individuals (168 males, 302 females; mean age, 70.7 years) with no long-term care certification at the time of participation in the study. Locomotive syndrome was classified into three stages (stages 1e3) according to the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale. Analysis was performed with long-term care certification occurrence as the endpoint and locomotive syndrome stage as the explanatory variable.Results: The median observation period was 6.3 years, and long-term care certification occurred in 69 (34.2%) and 30 (11.2%) of the participants in the locomotive syndrome and no-locomotive syndrome groups, respectively. Independent risk factors of long-term care certification occurrence were locomotive syndrome stage-3 (hazard ratio: 2.27) in the total number of studies, and locomotive syndrome stages 2 (hazard ratio: 2.49) and 3 (hazard ratio: 2.79) in females. Locomotive syndrome stage-3 was an independent risk factor in long-term care certification occurrence due to musculoskeletal disorders (hazardratio: 3.89).Conclusions: The higher the locomotive syndrome stage, especially in females, the higher the risk of long-term care certification occurrence.
