Abstract

Given that limited research has examined the relationships between lifestyle activities of varying intensities, including moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), light physical activity (LPA), and sedentary behavior (SB), and dynapenia, which refers to an age-related decline in muscle function, this study aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations between MVPA, LPA, and SB and the risk of dynapenia among older adults in Taiwan.

Research summary

The paper investigates the longitudinal associations between different intensities of physical activity and the risk of dynapenia in older adults. This research is relevant as it addresses lifestyle factors that may influence age-related decline in muscle function, which is a significant aspect of aging and longevity.
