Patterns of 12-year change in physical activity levels in community-dwelling older women: can modest levels of physical activity help older women live longer?
Few studies have addressed changes in physical activity participation over time among the elderly. The authors hypothesized that there were distinct trajectories of physical activity level over time and identifiable predictors of such trajectories, as well as that the maintenance of regular physical activity, even below recommended levels, was associated with lower mortality risk. Using longitu...
متن کاملCorrelation between Physical Activity Levels and Dietary Patterns with Hypertension in Elderly Women with Metabolic Syndrome
Introduction: The identification of individuals' physical activity levels and different dietary patterns can play a leading role in reducing the incidence of hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between physical activity level and dietary patterns with hypertension in elderly women with metabolic syndrome.

متن کاملTrajectory of declines in physical activity in community-dwelling older women: social cognitive influences.
Studies examining physical activity behavior suggest that activity levels decline with age. Such declines are particularly problematic among older adults in light of the research suggesting a protective effect of physical activity on numerous physical health outcomes associated with independent living. Despite a growing recognition of the importance of a physically active lifestyle, little is k...
متن کاملAssociation of Day Length and Weather Conditions with Physical Activity Levels in Older Community Dwelling People
BACKGROUND Weather is a potentially important determinant of physical activity. Little work has been done examining the relationship between weather and physical activity, and potential modifiers of any relationship in older people. We therefore examined the relationship between weather and physical activity in a cohort of older community-dwelling people. METHODS We analysed prospectively col...
متن کاملVisual acuity's association with levels of leisure-time physical activity in community-dwelling older adults.
Little is known about the effect of reduced vision on physical activity in older adults. This study evaluates the association of visual acuity level, self-reported vision, and ocular disease conditions with leisure-time physical activity and calculated caloric expenditure. A cross-sectional study of 911 subjects 65 yr and older from the University of Alabama at Birmingham Study of Aging (SOA) c...
