Description
Jennifer Schrack, Amal Wanigatunga, and Adam Spira introduce a symposium on activity, function, and fitness in aging in this 2024 paper. The three traits predict health and long life, yet how and why they link to body and mind stays under-explored. They can also be outcomes of health, not just predictors.
Five talks draw on large American cohort studies. Topics include how common motor impairments are, new methods joining sensory and motor function to cognition, and activity's ties to Alzheimer's biomarkers. Transit use and its link to activity, plus sleep's link to fitness, round out the set. The editors say the work maps fresh pathways from movement to healthy aging.
