Changes in physical activity, sedentary time, and risk of falling: The Women's Health Initiative Observational Study
Falling significantly affects quality of life, morbidity, and mortality among older adults. We sought to evaluate the prospective association between sedentary time, physical activity, and falling among post-menopausal women aged 50-79 years recruited to the Women's Health Initiative Observatio...

Baseline (B) and change in each of the following were evaluated at year 3 (Y3) and year 6 (Y6; baseline n= 93,676; Y3 n= 76,598; Y6 n= 75,428): recreational physical activity (MET-h/wk), sitting, sleeping (min/day), and lean body mass by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (subset N= 6475).

Higher baseline activity was associated with greater risk of falling at Y6 (18%; p for trend <0.0001). Increasing sedentary time minimally decreased falling (1% Y3; 2% Y6; p < 0.05). Increasing activity up to >= 9 MET-h/wk. (OR: 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03-1.22) or maintaining >= 9 MET-h/wk. (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.13-1.29) increased falling at Y3 and Y6 (p for trend <0.001).

Falling significantly affects quality of life, morbidity, and mortality among older adults. We sought to evaluate the prospective association between sedentary time, physical activity, and falling among post-menopausal women aged 50-79 years recruited to the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study between 1993 and 1998 from 40 clinical centers across the United States. Baseline (B) and change in each of the following were evaluated at year 3 (Y3) and year 6 (Y6; baseline n= 93,676; Y3 n= 76,598; Y6 n= 75,428): recreational physical activity (MET-h/wk), sitting, sleeping (min/day), and lean body mass by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (subset N= 6475). Falls per year (0, 1, 2, >= 3) were assessed annually by self-report questionnaire and then dichotomized as = 1 and = 2 falls/year.
