Fatigue May Contribute to Reduced Physical Activity Among Older People: An Observational Study

Conclusions: Fatigue was associated with clinically important reductions in daily physical activity levels of older people. The findings show BMI, physical condition (in particular cardiorespiratory fitness), and comorbidity to be important factors in explaining the fatigue–physical activity association. Modification of these factors may facilitate increases in daily activity levels by lessening fatigue.
