Physical Fitness, Physical Activity, and Functional Limitation in Adults Aged 40 and Older
Abstract & Commentary
Synopsis: Active individuals, as determined either by their level of physical fitness or physical activity, reported less functional limitations than unfit, sedentary participants, and such was true for both moderately fit as well as more highly fit men and women and was independent of known potential risk factors such as cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and body mass index.
