Associations of physical activity participation trajectories with subsequent motor function declines and incident frailty: A population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Maintaining physical function and delaying frailty are of significant importance in both quality of life and health longevity for successful aging. The objective of this study is to investigate whether different trajectories of long-term physical activity (PA) participation are associated with subsequent motor function declines and incident frailty in middle-aged and elderly adults.

Materials and methods

Data from 8,227 aged ≥ 50 years adults enrolled in the English Longitudinal Study of Aging were analyzed. Long-term PA participation trajectories were assessed using group-based trajectory modeling over the first 6-year period from wave 1 (2002-2003) to wave 4 (2008-2009). The longitudinal associations of PA trajectories with motor function declines and incident f
