Accelerometer-measured physical activity and sample-based frailty in older women: does pattern really matter?

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between the patterns of physical activity (PA) and frailty, including its various subdomains, remains poorly understood. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the correlations between the patterns of physical activity and frailty and its various subdomains in community-dwelling older women.

Methods

A cross-sectional study investigated the association between physical activity and frailty in 1,099 women aged between 60 to 70 years. Triaxial accelerometers were used to measure bouted PA (a minimum duration of 10 min) and sporadic PA (a duration of <10 min). Fried's frailty phenotype was utilized to evaluate the status of frailty. Data were analyzed using logistic regression and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
