The aim of the study was to determine whether habitual physical activity can compensate for the increased mortality risk among older people with poor muscle strength. Mortality was followed up for 10 years after laboratory examination in 558 community dwelling 75- and 80-year-old men and women. Maximal isometric strength of five muscle groups was measured and tertile cut-off points were used to categorize participants. Participants, who reported moderate physical activity for at least 4 h a week, were categorized as physically active and the others as sedentary. High muscle strength and physical activity both protected from mortality, but their effect was not additive. Within each muscle strength tertile, physically active people had a lower mortality risk than sedentary people, the effect being most pronounced among those with lower strength in all muscle groups. A high level of physical activity may thus compensate for the increased mortality associated with low muscle strength.

Brain, cognition and physically active lifestyle in healthy ageing
Strömmer, Juho (University of Jyväskylä, 2018)Normal ageing is accompanied by profound changes in brain structure and declines in the automatic processing of sensory stimuli, which in turn lead to altered cognitive performance. However, behaviour and lifestyle ... -
Older Age Increases the Amplitude of Muscle Stretch-Induced Cortical Beta-Band Suppression But Does not Affect Rebound Strength
Walker, Simon; Monto, Simo; Piirainen, Jarmo M.; Avela, Janne; Tarkka, Ina M.; Parviainen, Tiina M.; Piitulainen, Harri (Frontiers Media, 2020)Healthy aging is associated with deterioration of the sensorimotor system, which impairs balance and somatosensation. However, the exact age-related changes in the cortical processing of sensorimotor integration are unclear. ... -
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 ... -
Physical fitness, pain and fatigue in postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia : effects of strength training
Valkeinen, Heli (University of Jyväskylä, 2007)Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic non-inflammatory pain syndrome characterized mainly by widespread pain, fatigue and sleep disturbance. Its pathophysiology is still unknown and no curative treatment exists. Exercise training ... -
