Prospective associations between accelerometer-measured physical activity, sedentary behavior, and healthy longevity: the  Women's Health Accelerometry Collaboration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The influence of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) on survival to late age with intact mobility is unclear. This study investigated associations between accelerometer-measured daily PA, SB, and survival to age 90 birthyear with and without intact mobility in the Women's Health Accelerometry Collaboration (WHAC).

Methods

Postmenopausal US women aged 78-89 years without mobility disability were followed for an average of 6.1 years. At age 90 birthyear, participants were categorized as: (1) surviving with intact mobility, (2) surviving with mobility disability, or (3) deceased. Participants wore an accelerometer on the hip for up to 7 days at baseline from 2011 to 2015. Covariate-adjusted multinomial logistic regression models estimated odds ratios (
