Factors behind Leisure-Time Physical Activity Behavior Based on Finnish Twin Studies: The Role of Genetic and Environmental Influences and the Role of Motives
Aaltonen, Sari; Kujala, Urho; Kaprio, Jaakko (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)Different approaches are being taken to clarify the role of various factors in the development of physical activity behaviors. Genetic studies are a new area of physical activity research and also the motives for physical ... -

Mortality associations with DNA methylation-based biological aging and physical functioning measures across a 20-year follow-up period
Föhr, Tiina; Waller, Katja; Viljanen, Anne; Rantanen, Taina; Kaprio, Jaakko; Ollikainen, Miina; Sillanpää, Elina (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2023)Background Measures of biological aging range from DNA methylation (DNAm)-based estimates to measures of physical abilities. The purpose of this study was to compare DNAm- and physical functioning-based measures of ... -
Genetic and Environmental Effects on the Individual Variation and Continuity of Participation in Diverse Physical Activities
Kaartinen, Sara; Silventoinen, Karri; Korhonen, Tellervo; Kujala, Urho M.; Kaprio, Jaakko; Aaltonen, Sari (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2021)Introduction Participation in diverse physical activities has beneficial health effects. However, little is known on how genetic and environmental factors affect this trait. Thus, we examined to what extent these factors ... -
Comparing the associations between muscle strength, walking speed, and mortality in community-dwelling older adults of two birth cohorts born 28 years apart
Koivunen, Kaisa; Portegijs, Erja; Karavirta, Laura; Rantanen, Taina (Springer, 2024)Reduced age-specific mortality and increased muscle strength and walking speed of current older adults may have altered the relationships between these factors as more people may be above the reserve capacity threshold. ...
