Objectively Measured Physical Activity Is Related to Cognitive Function in Older Adults

Objectively measured physical activity and mortality in older adults.

Factors related to objectively measured physical activity in preschool children.

This study examined correlates of objectively measured physical activity (PA) in a diverse sample of preschool children (age 3-5 years; n = 331). Accelerometer min x hr-1 of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and nonsedentary activity (NSA) were the outcome measures. Correlations among potential correlates and PA ranged from r= -0.12-0.26. Correlates in the final MVPA model were age,...

Adherence to physical activity guidelines in older adults, using objectively measured physical activity in a population-based study

BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) levels in older adults decline with age. The prevalence and correlates of adherence to current UK PA guidelines in older adults has not been studied using objectively measured PA, which can examine precisely whether PA is carried out in bouts of specified length and intensity. METHODS Free living men and women aged 70-93 years from 25 towns in the United King...

Association of Objectively Measured Physical Activity With Cardiovascular Risk in Mobility‐limited Older Adults

BACKGROUND Data are sparse regarding the impacts of habitual physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior on cardiovascular (CV) risk in older adults with mobility limitations. METHODS AND RESULTS This study examined the baseline, cross-sectional association between CV risk and objectively measured PA among participants in the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study....

Objectively measured age-related changes in the intensity distribution of daily physical activity in adults.

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the relationship between age and the intensity of the daily physical activity in men and women, aged 18 to 69 years. METHODS A total 507 volunteers continuously wore a pedometer with a uni-axial accelerometer (Lifecorder, Kenz, Japan) for 7 days, to determine the number of steps (steps/ day) as well as the time spent in physic...
