Objectives To describe levels of physical activity among older adults residing at assisted care facilities and their association with physical function. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Setting Assisted care facilities within the greater Boston, MA area. Participants Older adults aged 65 years and older (N = 65). Measurements Physical Activity Level (PAL) as defined by quartiles from accelerometry (counts and steps), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score, gait speed, and handgrip strength. Results Participants in the most active accelerometry quartile engaged in 25 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and walked 2,150 steps/day. These individuals had an SPPB score, 400 meter walk speed, and handgrip streng...
