Muscle Strength, Physical Activity, and Functional Limitations in Older Adults with Central Obesity
Background. Obesity and muscle weakness are independently associated with increased risk of physical and functional impairment in older adults. It is unknown whether physical activity (PA) and muscle strength combined provide added protection against functional impairment. This study examines the as...
