Relationship between ambulation and obesity in older persons with and without low back pain

CONTEXT: For obese older persons, ambulation is both functionally important and a means of weight control. The relationship between weight and ambulation is not known in this population. Also, the extent to which pain interferes with ambulation is not studied. OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between obesity and ambulation, and to determine the effect of pain and body mass index (BMI) on ambulation in older persons. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Retrospective study of 82 older persons, ages 55-79 y, some with no back pain recruited from the community, others with back pain or spinal stenosis recruited from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner as part of a larger university study of spinal stenosis. OUTCOME MEASURES: Age, Visual Analog Scales for pain, BMI, patient diagnosis (no pain, mechanical back pain, and spinal stenosis), walking velocity and stride length on a 15-min laboratory ambulation test, and 1-week community ambulation measured with a pedometer (steps, distance, and energy expenditure). RESULTS: BMI had a significant inverse relationship with ambulatory measurements in terms of the distance walked, steps taken, and walking velocity. Pain severity and pain category also had a significant inverse relationship with these measures. A negative correlation was observed between pain and obesity, although the relationship was statistically nonsignificant. DISCUSSION: Obese older people walked less than the nonobese older people. Pain was associated with decreased ambulation. Clinicians who intend to encourage increased ambulation in older obese persons should consider possible barriers posed by musculoskeletal pain.

“…A number of studies have supported its use among adults aged 19 to 74 years in both laboratory and field settings and consider it the gold standard for measurement of physical activity (Bassett et al, 2000;Sequeira et al, 1995). For example, the pedometer and oxygen uptake were significantly correlated with energy expenditure during exercise (walking and jogging) of a male and female student sample (Mizuno, Yoshida, & Udo, 1990). Additional studies have shown that the pedometer accurately measures walking and running activities among adult men and women ages 36 to 65 years (Bassey, Dallosso, Fentem, Irving, & Patrick, 1987;Kashiwazaki, Inaoka, Suzuki, & Kondo, 1986;Yanagibori, Aoki, Suzuki, & Gunji, 1991).…”

Few studies exist that identify a useful self-report measure of physical activity for pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to compare the self-report exercise diary with the pedometer and determine if self-report measurement provided useful physical activity measures during pregnancy. The pregnant women's sleep, parity, and related demographic factors were further analyzed for relationships to the physical activity measures. Physical activity was assessed in a sample of 94 pregnant midwestern U.S. women ages 18 to 38 years. The women wore a pedometer during all waking hours for 3 consecutive days at 14 and 28 weeks of pregnancy for a total of 6 days. During the same 6 days of monitoring, the women kept a diary account of the minutes they exercised per day. The pedometer and self-report exercise diary results correlated significantly (r = 49, p = .02). When examining for usefulness in measuring physical activity, a comparison of the women's occupational categories revealed no significant differences in self-reported minutes of exercise or pedometer counts per day.

“…78 Some designs record the intensity of each individual impulse, allowing researchers to feed the accumulated information to a computer for analyses of total energy expenditure. 79,80 In our view (and that of many other observers), the best of the currently available instruments is the Kenz Lifecorder. 66,81,82 This device records the number of steps taken and their intensity every 4 seconds throughout the day.…”

Background: Recommendations on minimum exercise levels for the elderly have to date been based largely on extrapolation of epidemiological findings in middle-aged adults. Questionnaire assessments of physical activity in the latter age group have been correlated with health outcomes observed over 10 or more years. The reliability and construct validity of questionnaires have sometimes been reasonably high, but information on the volume of physical activity has been exaggerated as much as three-to five-fold, with corresponding uncertainties in health inferences. Objectives: To assess the contribution of inexpensive pedometer/accelerometers to objective determinations of physical activity needs in the elderly. Major findings: Pedometer/accelerometers work well in the elderly, whose main deliberate activity is walking. The steps taken on a treadmill or a walking course can be determined with considerable accuracy, but more tests are needed under free-living conditions. In elderly people, the relationship between step counts and health outcomes is progressive; even a small increase in daily activity yields some health benefit. For many outcomes, advantage is seen with a nominal count of 8000 steps/day, probably reflecting 4000 paces of deliberate walking, and the spending of at least 20 minutes per day at an exercise intensity .3 METs. This corresponds to a weekly energy expenditure of 1-2 MJ, substantially less than inferred from some questionnaire analyses. Conclusions: Cross-sectional analyses show that healthier old people reach a nominal count of 8000 steps/ day, exercising .20 minutes per day at an intensity .3 METs. Longitudinal studies are needed to test the causality of these relationships.
