Quantifying the relative intensity of free-living physical activity: differences across age, association with mortality and clinical interpretation—an observational study
Absolute PA intensity dropped with age, while relative intensity was fairly stable. Associations between PA intensity and mortality suggest that prescribing intensity in absolute terms appears appropriate for men, while either absolute or relative terms may be appropriate for women.
