Risk Factors for Functional Decline in Older Adults with Arthritis

Research Area: Ageing

Interesting study from 2005 looking at functional capacity in older adults with arthritis. They found that of all the risk factors for functional decline, not engaging in regular vigorous physical activity (by their definition heavy housework, a sport or a manual job) was the most prevalent risk factor and almost doubled the odds of functional decline. Lack of physical activity was the second most significant risk factor for functional decline after cognitive impairment.
