“…Some meta-analyses focused only on frail populations (Chou et al, 2012; de Vries et al, 2012; Gine-Garriga et al, 2010) or only on cognitively impaired populations (Gates, Fiatarone Singh, Sachdev, & Valenzuela, 2013; Potter, Ellard, Rees, & Thorogood, 2011), while others excluded studies with participants with chronic illnesses common among older adults (Tschopp, Sattelmayer, & Hilfiker, 2011), limiting generalizability of study findings. Several prior meta-analyses restricted analyses to specific PF outcomes, such as balance (Howe et al, 2011; Orr, 2010), gait speed (Lopopolo et al, 2006), limb strength (Borde, Hortobágyi, & Granacher, 2015; Raymond, Bramley-Tzerefos, Jeffs, Winter, & Holland, 2013), or cardiorespiratory fitness (Lemura, von Duvillard, & Mookerjee, 2000). Additionally, two meta-analyses combined measures of PF with measures of disability (Gu & Conn, 2008; Liu & Latham, 2011).…”
