Introduction: High physical activity (PA) at old age indicates good functional capacity enabling independent living. We investigated how different disease conditions are associated with measured PA indicators in old women and men, and whether they recognize this association.
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional twin cohort study in Finland comprised 779 individuals (276 complete twin pairs, including 117 monozygotic pairs), who participated in hip-worn accelerometer monitoring of PA and responded to questions on diseases and mobility limitations at mean age of 73 (range 71 to 75).
Results: Of the participants, 23.2% reported having a disease restricting mobility. With sex and age in the regression model, the reported disease restricting mobility explained 11.8% of the variation in moderate-to-vigorous PA and 10.4% of the variation in daily steps. Adding stepwise other self-reported diseases and body-mass index to the model increased the explanatory power for moderate-to-vigorous PA up to 18.5% and 25.5%, and for daily steps up to 16.0% and 20.7%, respectively. In the co-twin control analysis the PA differences were smaller in disease-discordant monozygotic than dizygotic pairs.
Conclusions: Chronic disease conditions are associated with low PA, which individuals may not always recognize. Shared genetic factors may explain part of the associations. Among community dwelling older men and women one fourth of the variation in objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity is accounted for by age, sex, body-mass index and self-reported diseases. Occurrence of chronic diseases is associated with low physical activity and individuals do not always recognize this. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the low physical activity and mobility of individuals with chronic disease conditions before these result in limitations in independent living.

Associations of physical activity in detailed intensity ranges with body composition and physical function : a cross-sectional study among sedentary older adults
Savikangas, Tiina; Tirkkonen, Anna; Alen, Markku; Rantanen, Taina; Fielding, Roger A.; Rantalainen, Timo; Sipilä, Sarianna (BioMed Central, 2020)Background Physical activity is crucial to maintain older adults’ health and functioning, but the health benefits of particular activity intensities remain unclear. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to peruse the ... -
Motives for physical activity in older men and women : A twin study using accelerometer‐measured physical activity
Aaltonen, S.; Waller, K.; Vähä‐Ypyä, H.; Rinne, J.; Sievänen, H.; Silventoinen, K.; Kaprio, J.; Kujala, U.M. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)Motives for physical activity may vary considerably by age, sex and the level of physical activity. We aimed to examine motives for physical activity in older men and women with different physical activity levels as well ... -
Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Associations between Leisure Time Physical Activity, Mental Well-Being and Subjective Health in Middle Adulthood
Kekäläinen, Tiia; Freund, Alexandra M.; Sipilä, Sarianna; Kokko, Katja (Springer Netherlands, 2020)Previous studies have shown that participation in leisure time physical activity is related to better mental well-being and subjective health. However, the associations between different types of leisure time physical ... -
The difference in risk of chronic pulmonary disease morbidity and mortality between elite athletes and ordinary men in Finland
Kontro, Titta K.; Sarna, Seppo; Kaprio, Jaakko; Kujala, Urho M. (Taylor & Francis, 2020)Introduction: The impact of a history of competitive sports on later smoking behavior and occurrence of chronic pulmonary diseases is poorly known. We investigated how a history of elite level sports predicted later pulmonary ... -
Self-reported fitness and objectively measured physical activity profile among older adults : a twin study
Waller, Katja; Vähä-Ypyä, Henri; Lindgren, Noora; Kaprio, Jaakko; Sievänen, Harri; Kujala, Urho (Oxford University Press; Gerontological Society of America, 2019)Background. Maintaining good fitness and good level of physical activity are important factors for maintaining physical independence later in life. The aim was to investigate the relationship between self-reported fitness ...
