...Hye Jun Lee; Jung-Ha Kim Introduction: Remnant cholesterol (RC) is an important contributor to cardiovascular disease development. We aimed to investigate the effect of physical activity (PA) type on serum RC levels in Korean adults. Methods: We used data from the 2016–2021 Korea National Health...

Helbostad Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns have reduced physical activity (PA) among home-dwelling older adults. The main aim of this study was to investigate how real-life PA in home...

...Paul W. Kline; Faisal D. Shaikh; Jaclyn E. Tennant; Renee Hamel; Lisa A. Zukowski Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine if demographic variables and measures of cognitive function, functional mobility, self-reported balance self-efficacy, and self-reported physical activity can...

..., the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (mean age = 76.12 years) and InCHIANTI Study (mean age = 66.05 years), examining the relationship between levels of serum proteins and 5 key health outcomes: kidney function, fasting glucose, physical activity, lean body mass, and percent body fat. Results: Correlations...

...Danya Pradeep Kumar; Bijan Najafi; Kaveh Laksari; Nima Toosizadeh Introduction: Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome associated with decline in physiological reserve. While several digital biomarkers of daily physical activity (DPA) have been used in frailty assessment, the association between...

Maintenance of CRF has been proposed as a neuroprotective mechanism capable of attenuating age-related losses of grey and white matter (WM) volume, along with reducing atrophy in structures crucial...

... recreationally physically active older individuals (OA) and physical performance, muscle morphology, muscle function, and NMJ stability (from serum C-terminal agrin fragment [CAF] concentration) were assessed. In study 2, employing a longitudinal study design in a different cohort (composed of 37 older adults...

Physical activity Prediabetes Diabetes Former athletes The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) has increased dramatically in the last decades in developed and developing countries [1]. The prevalence of diabetes is estimated to increase to up to 470 million...

...Or Shaked; Gali Cohen; Abigail Goshen; Tal Shimony; Tamar Shohat; Yariv Gerber Aims: To evaluate the association between physical activity (PA) levels and mortality among older adults, to determine whether it differs according to cardiovascular disease (CVD) status, and to assess the optimal weekly...

... associated with increasing age and with many health behaviours. There is inconclusive evidence on the association between physical activity (PA) and telomere length. Objectives: To examine how leisure-time PA (LTPA) is associated with telomere length and telomere attrition during 10 years of follow-up...

...Martin Niedermeier; Viviane Dremetsikas; Simone Herzog; Prisca Kopp-Wilfling; Martin Burtscher; Martin Kopp Increasing evidence suggests positive associations between physical activity, social support, and quality of life in later life. However, the role of physical activity and social support...

Objective: This randomized controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of daily use of a custom-made AFO on balance, fear of falling, and physical activity...

... of activities and social participation. To effectively prevent such negative consequences, it is important to understand how even very low concern about falling could affect physical activity behavior in everyday life. We hypothesized that concern about falling is associated with a reduction in diversity...

Objective: We tested the longitudinal association between physical activity and cognitive performance to de termine whether...

Conclusions: This study demonstrated that daily number of specific postural transitions such as walk-to-stand and quick sitting could be used for monitoring frailty status by unsupervised monitoring of daily physical activity. Further study is warranted to explore whether tracking the daily number of specific...
