Daily physical activity and trajectories of care service use among older adults: the HUNT4 Trondheim 70+ study
This study identified four distinct trajectories of municipal care service use among older adults over 3 years. Total daily physical activity was not associated with trajectories of care service use, but more time spent walking in longer bouts was independently associated with lower care service use, even when adjusted for the strong predictors of physical performance, dementia diagnosis, and age.
