Regular physical activity (PA) is associated with reduced risk of the development and progression musculoskeletal, metabolic vascular disease. However, PA declines age this can contribute to multiple adverse outcomes. The aims study were describe relationship between accelerometer-determined PA, body composition sarcopenia (the loss muscle mass function age). Seven-day was measured using GENEactiv accelerometer among 32 men 99 women aged 74-84 years who participated in Hertfordshire...
