Abstract
- Low physical activity (PA) is a common phenotype of frailty, but whether disengagement of daily lifestyle PA signals impending frailty remains unexplored. Using STURDY (Study to Understand Fall Reduction and Vitamin D in You) data from 499 robust/prefrail adults (mean age=76 + 5 years; 42% women), we examined whether accelerometer patterns (activity counts/day, active minutes/day, and activity fragmentation) were prospectively associated with incident frailty over 2 years of follow-up; 48 (10%) participants developed frailty. In Discrete-Cox hazard models adjusted for demographics, medical conditions, and device wear days, every 30 min/day higher baseline active time, 100,000 more activity counts/day, and 1% lower activity fragmentation was associated with a 13% (p=0.003), 10% (p=0.001), and 8% (p
