在一项涉及293名妇女和233名男子的人口研究中，分析了早年身体活动水平与76岁时身体活动和表现之间的关系。从10岁开始，将寿命分为5个年龄段，分别描述为竞赛运动、娱乐运动、职业体力负荷、家务劳动和交通工具。结果显示，当所有活动领域都被合并为通过加权创建的身体活动的总度量时，仅最早的时期无法解释活动模式或晚年的表现。然而，在男性35岁和女性50岁之后，这种联系变得更强，最后一个生命阶段（66-76）的活动水平与研究中的所有变量都密切相关。另一方面，当每个活动领域被单独处理时，在大多数生命周期中，76岁的女性和男性中，最重要的是休闲运动与步行速度和身体活动呈正相关。
In a population study, involving 293 women and 233 men, the relation between level of physical activity in earlier life and both physical activity and performance at age 76 has been analysed. The life span was divided into five age periods from the age of 10 and described as competition sport, recreational sport, occupational physical load, household work and means of transportation. The results revealed that when all fields of activity were combined into a total measure of physical activity, created through weighting, the earliest periods alone could not explain activity patterns or performance late in life. After the age of 35 years in men and 50 years in women, however, the associations grew stronger and the activity level of the last life period (66-76) was strongly correlated to all variables incorporated in the study. When, on the other hand, each field of activity was treated alone, above all recreational sport turned out to be positively related to walking speed and physical activity at age 76 in both women and men for most life periods.
