Clin Intervent Aging. 2013;8:549–56. doi: 10.2147/CIA.S44112 . Study including 1288 independent elderly individuals (age 60–80 years). Results indicate that physical activity and functional fitness decline with age. Muscle strength loss appears to be greater in the lower extremities than the upper extremities. The findings suggest that these age-related changes can lead to decreased independence and fall risk, both of which are areas that can be addressed through physical therapy intervention.
