The association of objectively measured physical activity and sedentary behavior with skeletal muscle strength and muscle power in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

The Association of Objectively Measured Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with (Instrumental) Activities of Daily Living in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review

“…Associations with p-values that could not be calculated were conservatively estimated for effect direction heat maps as being ≥0.25 or the largest p-value derived from the reported information and excluded from albatross plots. 25 …”

Objectively measured physical activity is associated with frailty in community-dwelling older adults: A systematic review

“…In community-dwelling older adults, low PA and high SB are independently associated with reduced physical function [9,10], reduced muscle strength and power (Ramsey et al, 2020, under review), poorer cognition [11], greater all-cause mortality [12], and higher risk of diseases such as cardiovascular disease [13], type 2 diabetes [14], and cancer [15]. Low PA, low physical function and muscle strength [16], and a high disease burden are criteria for definitions of frailty, a multifaceted age-related condition characterised by a clinically significant increase in vulnerability and worsened health outcomes [17][18][19][20]. Frailty is measured by multifactorial definitions assessing an accumulation of deficits across health domains or by physical definitions which assess markers of physical health and performance [19,20].…”

Predictors of Changes in Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior during the COVID-19 Pandemic in a Turkish Migrant Cohort in Germany

“…Additionally, it can help to overcome stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, all symptoms that were reported by many persons due to the pandemic [12][13][14]. Sedentary behavior, on the other hand, is associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal, metabolic, and cardiovascular diseases [15][16][17].…”
