Introduction Phase angle (PhA) is a bioelectrical marker determined through bioelectrical impedance analysis, and higher PhA is associated with better cellular integrity, higher skeletal muscle mass, strength and quality(Silva, et al. 2022). Previous studies reported that exercise enhanced phase angle (Martins, et al. 2022), and we recently showed that older adults with exercise habits in both adolescence and old age exhibited high muscle function (Tabata, et al. 2023). Thus, the present study investigated the associations between the combination of exercise habits in adolescence and older age, and their impact on PhA among older adults.
Tabata et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
