Total Physical Activity, Exercise Intensity, and Walking Speed as Predictors of All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality Over 7 Years in Older Men: The Concord Health and Aging in Men Project
The study aimed to examine the contemporaneous temporal association between changes in total physical activity, sports intensity, muscle strengthening exercise, and walking speed as predictors of all-cause, cardiovascular, cancer and other cause-specific mortality in older men.

Objective Measures of Activity in the Elderly: Distribution and Associations With Demographic and Health Factors
Little is known about the distribution of activity over the full 24-hour spectrum in late old age and its association with demographic and health factors. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, and sleep, and associated factors in the elderly populat...

Feasibility and Effects of a Physical Activity Program Using Gerontechnology in Assisted Living Communities for Older Adults
The number of older adults residing in assisted living communities is increasing. Despite the benefits of physical activity (PA) on physical and cognitive capacities, and the opportunities for being active offered in these living environments, this population is highly sedentary and more at risk of physica...

Normal Weight but Low Muscle Mass and Abdominally Obese: Implications for the Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
It is well established that low muscle mass affects physical performance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We hypothesize that combined low muscle mass and abdominal obesity may also adversely influence the cardiometabolic risk profile in COPD, even in those with normal weight. The cardiomet...

Sitting Time and Mortality in Older Adults With Disability: A National Cohort Study
The progressive aging of the population has increased the number of older adults with disabilities. Regular physical activity has shown to improve health among these individuals, but the effects of sedentary behavior are mostly unknown. Thus, this study examined the association between sitting time and mor...

Muscle Strength and Body Weight Mediate the Relationship Between Physical Activity and Usual Gait Speed
Usual gait speed (UGS) is recognized as a good indicator of a variety of health conditions as well as a predictor of future disability and mortality. There is evidence that UGS increases with physical activity. Muscle function and body composition changes may mediate these changes. However, we do not know ...
