Daniel Levinson depicts the late adulthood period as those years that encompass age 65 and beyond. Other developmental psychologists further divide later adulthood into young‐old (ages 65–85) and old‐old (ages 85 and beyond) stages. Today, 13 percent of the population is over the age of...
However, whether the beneficial effects of LTPA on bone accumulate across life and are maintained even after reduction or cessation of regular PA in later life is unknown. We examined whether LTPA across adulthood was cumulatively associated with volumetric and areal bone mineral density (vBMD, ...
The results of this study provide insights in the time allocation to active domains and total PA of older adults, as well as the associations with health indicators. These findings have important implications for the development of PA programs and guidelines. Future research should examine the assoc...

For all sites combined, those in the lowest education tertile had earlier ages at menopause (p = 0.04), as did those who reported currently smoking (p = 0.02) and those who gave birth 4 or more times (p = 0.02). Taller women had later ANM (p = 0.01). Few ...
THIS ARTICLE IS OPEN ACCESSBackground: Military veterans provide a large and diverse population to examine the extent to which compulsory physical activity (PA) in early adulthood is associated with PA later in life. Methods: We assessed self-reported and objectively measured PA and sedentary time...
[22]. Maintenance of high PA levels, especially MVPA, in young adulthood, is a critical point for maintaining metabolic health later in adulthood [23]. Thus, adolescence and young adulthood are opportune periods for interventions to ensure adequate accumulation of daily MVPA. Sex-specific analysis...
Children’s physical fitness development and related moderating effects of age and sex are well documented, especially boys’ and girls’ divergence during puberty. The situation might be different during prepuberty. As girls mature approximately two yea

Older adult women often do not engage in sufficient physical activity (PA) and can encounter biological changes that exacerbate the negative effects of inadequate activity. Wearable activity monitors can facilitate PA initiation, but evidence of sustained behavior change is lacking. Supplementing wearable...
