“…Furthermore, shorter one-leg standing time showed a significant association with early pathological changes in the brain, such as asymptomatic cerebral small vessel disease, in the general population [24]. Decreased physical function, fracture injury, and stroke prevent patients with cardiovascular disease from participation in physical activity or regular exercise, and a sedentary lifestyle has already been established as a strong risk factor for poor prognosis in older adults [25] and cardiac patients [26, 27]. It may explain the mechanism underlying the association between shorter one-leg standing time and poor survival in older adults with cardiovascular disease.…”

Background: The detection of impaired physical performance in older adults with cardiovascular disease is essential for clinical management and therapeutic decision-making. There is a requirement for an assessment tool that can be used conveniently, rapidly, and securely in clinical practice for screening decreased physical performance. Objective: The present study was performed to evaluate the association of office-based physical assessments with decreased physical performance and to compare the prognostic capability of these assessments in older adults with cardiovascular disease. Methods: A total of 1,040 patients aged 75 years and older with cardiovascular disease were included in this analysis. One-leg standing time (OLST) and handgrip strength were measured as office-based physical assessment tools, and short physical performance battery (SPPB), 6-min walk distance, and usual gait speed were also measured at hospital discharge as measurements of physical performance. All-cause mortality was assessed by death registry at the hospital. We examined the association of office-based measures with physical performance and all-cause mortality. Results: The areas under the curve of OLST for SPPB < 10, 6-min walk distance < 300 m, and usual gait speed < 1.0 m/s were 0.87 (95% CI 0.83–0.91), 0.83 (95% CI 0.80–0.86), and 0.81 (95% CI 0.78–0.85), respectively. The discrimination abilities of OLST for decreased physical performance were significantly higher than those of handgrip strength. After adjusting for the effects of patient characteristics, the hazard ratio for all-cause mortality in the < 3 s group for OLST was 1.68 (95% CI 1.06–2.67, p = 0.03). Handgrip strength, however, was not significantly associated with mortality risk in these participants. Conclusion: Short OLST, in particular < 3 s, is associated with decreased physical performance and elevated mortality risk in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease. OLST can be conveniently measured in the clinician’s office as a screening tool for impaired physical performance.

Background: Interactive web-based physical activity interventions using Web 2.0 features (e.g., social networking) have the potential to improve engagement and effectiveness compared to static Web 1.0 interventions. However, older adults may engage with Web 2.0 interventions differently than younger adults. The aims of this study were to determine whether an interaction between intervention (Web 2.0 and Web 1.0) and age group (<55y and ≥55y) exists for website usage and to determine whether an interaction between intervention (Web 2.0, Web 1.0 and logbook) and age group (<55y and ≥55y) exists for intervention effectiveness (changes in physical activity).

“…This shows that almost all loss of PA is highly deleterious, and that moderate-intensity activity, even in small amounts, is beneficial. Even light-intensity PA can be important in preventing cancer [23], and this is possibly because increases in light-intensity PA are related to relative reductions in SB. A metaanalysis of relationships between SB and cancer suggested that SB was associated with overall cancer risk and with the risk of uterine cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer, specifically [24].…”

Even a low-dose of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity reduces mortality by 22% in adults aged ≥60 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: A dose of MVPA below current recommendations reduced mortality by 22% in older adults. A further increase in physical activity dose improved these benefits in a linear fashion. Older adults should be encouraged to include even low doses of MVPA in their daily lives.
