Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To examine the long-term association between midlife physical activity (PA) and lower extremity function (LEF) in late life. DESIGN: Longitudinal study with an average of 25 years of follow-up. SETTING: Community-dwelling old population in Reykjavik, Iceland. PARTICIPANTS: Four thousand seven hundred fifty-three community-dwelling men and women (mean age 76 ± 6) in Reykjavik, Iceland. MEASUREMENTS: On...
