Estimated Functional Capacity Predicts Mortality in Older Adults

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

CRF is an important independent predictor of death in older adults. The results add to the existing evidence that promoting physical activity in older adults provides substantial health benefits, even in the oldest old.

Estimated functional capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness are independent predictors of mortality in older adults, supporting the promotion of physical activity in this population.
