Abstract
Introduction: Physical activity (PA) is associated with better outcomes in individuals living with Alzheimer's and related dementia (ADRD). We examined environmental, intra-, and interpersonal correlates of PA for persons living with ADRD.
Methods: PA (accelerometry), cognitive function, physical function, and sociodemographic factors were collected in adults with ADRD and their caregivers. Spearman's correlations and generalized linear models were used to evaluate factors associated with PA of persons living with ADRD.
Results: Valid data were obtained from 65 pairs of adults living with ADRD (73.6 ± 8.4 years, 39.4% female) and caregivers (69.4 ± 9.4 years, 69.2% female, 93.8% spouse). Moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and light PA of persons living with ADRD were correlated with upper and lower body strength, aerobic fitness, and agility. MVPA and sedentary time of persons living with ADRD were associated with that of their caregiver.
Conclusion: Physical function and caregiver PA may be targets for interventions in those living with ADRD.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Aging and Health is an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research findings and scholarly exchange in the area of aging and health. Manuscripts are sought that deal with social and behavioral factors related to health and aging. Disciplines represented include the behavioral and social sciences, public health, epidemiology, demography, health services research, nursing, social work, medicine, and related disciplines. Although preference is given to manuscripts presenting the findings of original research, review and methodological pieces will also be considered.
