Association Between Accelerometer-Assessed Physical Activity and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study
Our study links accelerometer-assessed PA (steps and MVPA) with better processing speed in the youngest-old adults. Step count correlated with processing speed regardless of intensity. Further research is needed to determine the directionality of these associations.
