The objective of this study was to examine the effects of physical activity during hospital stay on falls, emergency room visits, and rehospitalizations among older patients with dementia at 1 and 6 months post discharge.
Physical and cognitive interventions provide benefits to persons with dementia (PwD); however, the evidence on the effects of combined physical and cognitive interventions on PwD remains inconsistent. This review aimed to synthesize existing evidence and compare the effects of combined interventions with t...
To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing sedentary behavior (SB) and/or increasing physical activity (PA) among adults aged ≥60 years residing in long-term care facilities (LTCFs).
Obesity affects one-third of American adults aged ≥65 years. Despite the increasing uptake of prescription weight loss medications, physician provision of diet and exercise weight loss counseling and referrals benefits patients and improves health outcomes. To increase awareness about possible underuse of ...
To examine the association of meeting the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and resistance training (RT) components of the physical activity guidelines with frailty and mortality and to determine if these associations vary by age and sex.
This study aims to explore the relationship among household air pollution, physical activity (PA), and the risk of frailty among middle-aged and older adults.
Reaching the moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) recommendations of 150 min/wk is difficult for older adults, particularly among those living with frailty and its associated risk of dementia. We examined the dose-response relationship between MVPA and dementia risk among at-risk persons living wi...
To clarify the relationship between self-reported and device-measured physical activity (PA) and disability incidences in community-dwelling older adults.
To examine the optimal range of steps for an individual based on the dose-response relationship of the number of steps taken with disability incidence and all-cause mortality stratified by age and physical frailty.
