L.汤普森客观测量的身体活动在不同的样本老年城市英国成年人。医学科学体育锻炼:第43卷,第4期,第100页。647-654,2011。背景:老年人的身体活动(PA)有许多健康和社会效益,但对他们的活动模式知之甚少。目的:本研究的目的是客观评估老年人的PA模式以及与PA相关的生活方式和人口统计因素。研究方法:参与者(N = 230,年龄78.1岁)招募的医疗实践(2007年和2008年之间)完成的旅程日志,并佩戴加速度计7天。分析了平均每日步数、每分钟步数(CPM)、久坐、轻度或中度至剧烈PA(MVPA)的分钟数以及旅行频率(2009年)。结果如下:年轻参与者(年龄= 70-74.9岁)比80岁以上的老年参与者(每天3409.6步)更活跃(P < 0.001)。男性的MVPA分钟数显著高于女性(P = 0.035)(23.1 vs 13.8 min MVPA/天)。正常体重组(每天5368.9步)比超重组(每天4532.7步)和肥胖组(每天3251.4步)更活跃(P < 0.05)。那些进行多次旅行的人(每周911.6次旅行)比那些很少旅行的人(每天5838.2步)更活跃(P < 0.001)。

Sports Exerc., Vol. 43, No. 4, pp. 647-654, 2011. Background: There are many health and social benefits of physical activity (PA) for older adults, but little is known about their activity patterns. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to objectively assess the PA patterns of older adults and the lifestyle and demographic factors associated with PA. Methods: Participants (N = 230, aged 78.1 yr) recruited from medical practices (between 2007 and 2008) completed journey logs and wore accelerometers for 7 d. Mean daily steps, counts per minute (CPM), minutes of sedentary, light, or moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA), and frequency of journeys were analyzed (in 2009). Results: Younger participants (age = 70-74.9 yr) were significantly (P < 0.001) more active (5660.8 steps per day) than older participants aged 80+ yr (3409.6 steps per day). Men performed significantly (P = 0.035) more minutes MVPA than women (23.1 vs 13.8 min MVPA per day). Normal weight participants were significantly (P < 0.05) more active (5368.9 steps per day) than overweight (4532.7 steps per day) and obese (3251.4 steps per day) groups. Those performing many journeys (911.6 journeys per week) were significantly (P < 0.001) more active (5838.2 steps per day) than those performing few (
