Environmental features associated with older adults’ physical activity in different types of urban neighborhoods
(Human Kinetics Publishers, 2020)
The authors studied associations of nature- and infrastructure-based features with physical activity (PA) in different urban neighborhood types; 848 community-dwelling people aged 75–90 years reported PA and three perceived ...
Hilliness and the development of walking difficulties among community-welling older people
(Sage Publications, 2020)
Objective: The objective of this study is to study the associations of objectively defined hilliness with the prevalence and incidence of walking difficulties among community-dwelling older adults, and to explore whether ...
Older adults' physical activity and the relevance of distances to neighborhood destinations and barriers to outdoor mobility
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Aim: To determine the relevance of features located close to home and further away, our aim was to study associations between older adults' physical activity and self-reported neighborhood destinations and barriers to ...
Natural history of social participation in the very old: Findings from the Newcastle 85+ study
(Sage Publications, 2020)
Objective: To describe the natural history of social participation in people aged 85 years and over. Methods: Prospective cohort study; Newcastle 85+ study. Data were collected at baseline (n = 850) and at 18-, 36- and ...
Associations between perceived outdoor environment and walking modifications in community-dwelling older people: a two-year follow-up study
(Sage Publications, 2020)
Objectives: To examine associations of perceived outdoor environment with the prevalence and development of adaptive (e.g., slower pace) and maladaptive (e.g., avoiding walking) modifications in walking 2 km among older ...
Daily physical activity and sedentary time assessed by acceleration based on mean amplitude deviation among older people
(2020)
Accelerometer-derived estimates of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time have been an important methodological focus. However, little is known about the daily activities among older people during their normal lives. ...
Use of walking modifications, perceived walking difficulty and changes in outdoor mobility among community-dwelling older people during COVID-19 restrictions
(Springer, 2021)
Background
Outdoor mobility enables participation in essential out-of-home activities in old age.
Aim
To compare changes in different aspects of outdoor mobility during COVID-19 restrictions versus two years before ...
Perceived opportunities for physical activity and willingness to be more active in older adults with different physical activity levels
(MDPI, 2021)
This study examined equity in physical activity (PA) by investigating whether perceived opportunity for PA was associated with willingness to be more active. Among community residents (75, 80, or 85 years old, n = 962) ...
Associations of environmental features with outdoor physical activity on weekdays and weekend days: a cross-sectional study among older people
(2020)
Background: Physical activity (PA) of higher intensity and longer duration mainly accumulates from older adults' out-of-home activities. Outdoor PA is influenced by environmental features; however, the day-to-day variability ...
Outdoor mobility and use of adaptive or maladaptive walking modifications among older people
(Oxford University Press, 2019)
Background
In old age, decline in functioning may cause changes in walking ability. Our aim was to study whether older people who report adaptive, maladaptive, or no walking modifications differ in outdoor mobility.
