Association between Accelerometer-Measured Light-Intensity Physical Activity and Cognitive Function in Older Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate whether accelerometer-measured light physical activity (LPA) is associated with cognitive function and whether engaging in ≥3 h/day of LPA can reduce the chance of cognitive impairment among a sample of older adults in Taiwan.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

An outpatient department in a medical center.

Participants

Participants were community-dwelling older adults aged 65 years and older who were able to walk independently from September 2020 to March 2021.

Measurements

A tri-axial accelerometer was used to measure LPA for 7 consecutive days, and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scale was used to assess the chance of cognitive impairment. Multiple linear regression model and binary logistic regres
