Mobility Abilities Mediate the Association of a More Active Lifestyle With Mobility Disability in Older Adults
Sensor-derived mobility metrics assess more diverse facets of mobility. These metrics mediate approximately half of the association of higher levels of daily physical activity with reduced mobility disability in older adults. Findings may inform the design of targeted interventions to reduce mobility disability in late life.
