Description
Brittany Burch and Barbara Resnick link activity with survival after hospital stays in 2024. Older adults with dementia leave hospital into a risky stretch of time. Most spend their days sitting, which may deepen decline. The team asked whether more movement a month after discharge tracks with living longer.
A wrist worn motion tracker recorded activity for a full day in the weeks after discharge. Care partners reported survival at six months and at one year. Models adjusted for illness load, age, and thinking state. Even in a small group, the study probes whether gentle movement after discharge marks a better path.
