Multi-trajectories of physical activity and health in aging: A 20-year nationwide population-based longitudinal study.
Abstract
Although the beneficial effects of exercise in mitigating adverse health outcomes associated with aging are well-established, the optimal intensity, volume, and frequency of exercise, especially for older adults, remain to be fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to examine the longitudinal association between distinct trajectories of various aspects of physical activity and clinical outcomes (mortality and functional disability (Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) disability) at 4- and 8-year follow-ups among community-dwelling middle-aged and older adults.

Research summary
The study examines the longitudinal association between physical activity trajectories and health outcomes in aging populations. This research is relevant as it explores the relationship between exercise and health in older adults, which can inform strategies for promoting longevity and mitigating age-related decline.
