This study aimed to analyze the status of sarcopenia, obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiometabolic disease according level physical activity (PA) among elderly people in Korea. Among data obtained from National Health Nutrition Survey (2008–2011), we analyzed a total 3,573 Korean over 65 years age who were surveyed for dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) PA. Higher levels PA associated with lower prevalence (χ 2 = 33.865, p < 0.001), osteoporosis 94.198, sarcopenic obesity 71.828, 0.001). Above moderate-active was body weight ( fat mass percent higher free-fat 0.001) appendicular skeletal muscle (ASM) than low-active In addition, when high-active is risk factors waist circumference cholesterol (TC) 0.015), triglyceride (TG) low- PA, high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) The diseases significantly decreased (odds ratio (OR) 0.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.50–0.71); (OR 0.85, CI, 0.73–0.99; OR 0.59, 0.50–0.70) HDL-C 0.76, 0.65–0.88; 0.56, 0.47–0.67) improved moderate- respectively, TG (0.67 0.55–0.80) Osteoporosis 0.62, 0.53–0.74; 0.46, 0.38–0.55) sarcopenia 0.77, 0.60–0.98; 0.73, 0.57–0.93) respectively. incidence 0.47, 0.39–0.57) 0.30–0.75) Therefore, verified cardiac metabolic more active suggests that maybe reduce older adults.
