Objective Physical Activity and Cardiovascular Health in Women Aged 80 and Older
Description: This study is aimed at determining how much total physical activity, including light and moderate or vigorous activity, is needed to reduce risk of cardiovascular events and total mortality among older women aged 80 and older. The study will also determine whether sedentary time is related to risk of cardiovascular events. Information on physical activity will be collected by asking women to wear a small device, called an accelerometer, for 7 days, as well as filling out a questionnaire about their physical activities.
