Objectives: To investigate the association between gait speed and depressive disorders among very old adults (≥85 years).
Method: This study utilized the GERDA-database, which encompasses a representative sample of those aged 85, 90, and 95+ years residing in northern Sweden and western Finland. From four data collections between 2000 and 2017, this study included 1794 participants.
Introduction: Self-rated health (SRH) offers insights into the evolving health demographics of an ageing population.
Aim: To assess change in SRH from old age to very old age and their associations with health and well-being factors, and to investigate the association between SRH and survival.
Methods: All participants in the MONICA 1999 re-examination born before 1940 (n = 1595) were included in the Silver-MONICA baseline cohort.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore the connections between different levels of physical activity—sedentary behavior (SED), low-intensity physical activity (LIPA), and moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA)—and the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in the coronary and carotid arteries among 22,670 participants from a Swedish study.
- Findings indicated that high levels of sedentary time were linked to an increased risk of significant coronary atherosclerosis, while MVPA was associated with a lower risk of both coronary and carotid atherosclerosis.
- Theoretical shifts from sedentary behavior to moderate-to-vigorous activity could lower the risk of significant coronary atherosclerosis, particularly in participants with high sedentary time

Objective: This study investigated the association between occupational physical activity (OPA) and resting blood pressure in a cohort of Swedish construction workers.
Methods: The final sample included 241,176 male construction workers. Occupations with low OPA were foremen and white-collar workers.
Studies that objectively investigate patterns of everyday physical activity in relation to well-being and that use measures specific to older adults are scarce. This study aimed to explore objectively measured everyday physical activity and sedentary behavior in relation to a morale measure specifically constructed for older adults. A total of 77 persons (42 women, 35 men) aged 80 years or older (84.
