Motor and Nonmotor Measures and Declining Daily Physical Activity in Older Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Difficulties in identifying modifiable risk factors associated with daily physical activity may impede public health efforts to mitigate the adverse health outcomes of a sedentary lifestyle in an aging population.

Objective

To test the hypothesis that adding baseline sensor-derived mobility metrics to diverse baseline motor and nonmotor variables accounts for the unexplained variance of declining daily physical activity among older adults.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study analyzed data from participants of the Rush Memory and Aging Project (MAP), an ongoing longitudinal clinical pathological study that began to enroll older adults (age range, 59.4-104.9 years) in 1997. Wrist- and waist-worn sensors were added to MAP in 2005 and 2012, resp
