Regular Vigorous Physical Activity and Disability Development in Healthy Overweight and Normal-Weight Seniors: A 13-Year Study
Objectives. We examined the relationship of regular exercise and body weight to disability among healthy seniors. Methods. We assessed body mass index (BMI) and vigorous exercise yearly (1989–2002) in 805 participants aged 50 to 72 years at enrollment. We studied 4 groups: normal-weight active (BMI 2 ; exercise> 60 min/wk); normal-weight inactive (exercise≤ 60 min/wk); overweight active (BMI≥ 25 kg/m 2 ); and overweight inactive. Disability was m…
Gender Differences in Physical Disability Among an Elderly Cohort
Objectives. We analyzed the role of sociodemographic factors, chronic-disease risk factors, and health conditions in explaining gender differences in disability among senior citizens. Methods. We compared 1348 men and women (mean age = 79 years) on overall disability and compared their specific activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), and mobility limitations. Analysis of covariance adjusted for possible explana…
Aging, Health Risks, and Cumulative Disability
BACKGROUND: Persons with lower health risks tend to live longer than those with higher health risks, but there has been concern that greater longevity may bring with it greater disability. We performed a longitudinal study to determine whether persons with lower potentially modifiable health risks have more or less cumulative disability. METHODS: We studied 1741 university alumni who were surveyed first in 1962 (average age, 43 years) and then an…
Gender and race differences in the correlation between body mass and education in the 1971-1975 NHANES I
STUDY OBJECTIVE--Differences in the correlation between body mass index and education across four gender and race groups were investigated while simultaneously accounting for occupation, income, marital status, and age. DESIGN--The study used analysis of covariance techniques to calculate average body mass and confidence intervals within education categories while simultaneously adjusting for the covariates: age, square of age, family income, mar…
Obesity as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease: A 26-year follow-up of participants in the Framingham Heart Study.
The relationship between the degree of obesity and the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was reexamined in the 5209 men and women of the original Framingham cohort. Recent observations of disease occurrence over 26 years indicate that obesity, measured by Metropolitan Relative Weight, was a significant independent predictor of CVD, particularly among women. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that Metropolitan Relative Weight, or…
