Description
Jennifer Schrack and co-authors measure daily activity in older Americans in a 2023 study using wrist worn motion sensors. How much older adults truly move is poorly known from self reports, above all past age eighty.
A national aging study fitted more than seven hundred people with the sensors for a week of round the clock wear in 2021. Daily activity counts were averaged for those with enough valid days. Activity fell with age and varied widely by health and social traits. Women moved more than men, and married people more than unmarried. Poor vision, hearing loss, and possible dementia all went with far less movement. People who got help with mobility moved least of all.
