Article Description

Aim: In the context of global aging, further exploration is needed to understand the associations of varying exercise intensities and frequencies on frailty among middle-aged and older individuals. Findings: As people age, their participation in physical activity tends to decrease. A longitudinal association was observed between moderate-intensity physical activity more than once a week and lower incidence of frailty among middle-aged and older adults, compared to participants with lower frequency of moderate physical activity. Message: Further interventional studies are needed to clarify the causal relationship between different intensities of physical activity and preventing frailty.
