Chunk #44 — FINDINGS — Relation of Risk Factors to Cognitive and Motor Outcomes, Disability and Death — Cognitive, Physical Activities, Social Engagement, Loneliness and Life Space
Physical activity by self report was associated with a slower rate of decline in motor function [68]. This association was unchanged after controlling for leg strength [111]. Physical activity was associated with a reduced risk of incident disability, a finding that persisted when controlling for muscle strength [111,112]. Physical activity and greater rest activity fragmentation assessed by actigraphy were associated with cognition [113,114], incident AD and change in cognition [115], and with decline in motor function [116]. In longitudinal analyses, total daily physical activity was associated with risk of death [103].
