Associations of distinct levels of physical activity with mobility in independent healthy older women.

CONCLUSION: MVPA is associated with body composition and mobility parameters, while LPA is not related to any measured body composition nor mobility parameters. Accordingly, healthy older women could benefit from MVPA to maintain body composition and mobility parameters to preserve independence in later life.
