“…For this reason, physical activity can intervene on the well-being of the elderly, helping to maintain physical function and consequently ADL, and protecting elderly people from the risk of frailty and nursing necessities. 53 Consequently, the maintenance of ADL has strong positive effects on the life of the elderly, contributing to successful ageing. 11,54 This study has some limits to consider.…”

This study investigated the association between physical functioning and activities of daily living (ADL) of elderly people, taking into account the role of cognitive, psychological, and social factors. We administered physical, cognitive, psychological, and social instruments to investigate the level of basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL). The analysis showed that physical functioning was the only individual factor that was significantly linked with the level of BADL and IADL. This study underlines that physical functioning is the main individual characteristic directly associated with the level of BADL and IADL in old age.

“…However, advantage of the MeDi score is the potential to consider additional, synergistic or opposite effects of 9 food groups and therefore to minimize confounding and modification effects among nutritional variables. In the same way, we adjusted our analyses for energy intake, to achieve of an isocaloric diet and to reduce measurement error in the score [56][57]. Finally, we cannot rule out the possibility of residual confounding by other unknown risk or protective factors such as a general healthier lifestyle of MeDi adherents.…”

The aging suppressor gene klotho encodes a single-pass transmembrane protein klotho that in mice is known to extend life span when overexpressed and to resemble accelerated aging, with skeletal muscle atrophy and decreased bone mineral density, when expression is disrupted. We sought to examine the relationship between plasma klotho and disability in activities of daily living (ADL) in older community-dwelling adults. In a crosssectional study, plasma klotho was measured in a population-based sample of 802 adults, ‡ 65 years, who participated in the ''Invecchiare in Chianti'' (Aging in the Chianti Area) (InCHIANTI) study in Tuscany, Italy. The overall proportion of adults with ADL disability was 11.9%. Mean (standard deviation) klotho concentrations were 689 (238) pg/mL. From the lowest to the highest tertile of plasma klotho, 16.1%, 9.7%, and 5.6% of participants, respectively, had ADL disability ( p = 0.0004). Plasma klotho, per 1 standard deviation increase, was associated with ADL disability (odds ratio = 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.35-0.93, p = 0.02) in a multivariate logistic regression model adjusting for age, education, cognition, physical activity, physical performance, total cholesterol, alcohol and tobacco use, and chronic diseases. Low plasma klotho concentrations were independently associated with ADL disability among older community-dwelling men and women.
