Abstract

Background

The health benefits of 150 min a week of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) in older adults, as currently recommended, are well established, but the suggested dose in older adults is often not reached.

Objectives

We aimed to determine whether a lower dose of MVPA was effective in reducing mortality, in participants older than 60 years.
