Leisure-Time Physical Activity Trajectories across Adulthood and Cardiometabolic Risk at the Beginning of Late Adulthood: A Prospective Cohort Study
Although consistently inactive and increasingly active individuals had higher cardiometabolic risk at age 61 compared with those who were consistently active across adulthood, current PA participation at the beginning of late adulthood attenuated these risks. These findings emphasize the importance of promoting and sustaining PA throughout life to reduce the burden of MetS in the aging population.
