Association of long-distance corridor walk performance with mortality, cardiovascular disease, mobility limitation, and disability

Article Abstract:

A study to demonstrate that the ability to walk 400 m and timed performance discriminate mortality and cardiovascular risk and risk for mobility limitation and disability in community dwelling older adults without known difficulty performing mobility-related tasks is illustrated. The findings provide validation of the importance of having the capacity to walk longer distances and show that there is a wide range of function and risk in apparently well-functioning older adults.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion genotype, exercise, and physical decline

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to determine whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotype interacts with significant physical activity to affect the incidence of mobility limitation in well-functioning older adults. The findings indicate that older individuals who exercised with ACE are less likely to develop mobility limitation than those who did not exercise.

Daily activity energy expenditure and mortality among older adults

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine whether free-living activity energy expenditure is associated with all-cause mortality among older adults. Objectively measured free-living activity energy expenditure was found to be strongly associated with lower risk of mortality in healthy older adults.
