Abstrakt: Background: Falls are the leading cause of injury among adults ≥ 65 years of age. Participation in physical activity (PA) is associated with improved balance, though it is impact in the middle-age population is not well understood.
Aim: The purpose of the current study was to examine the influence of PA intensity on static balance in middle-aged and older aged individuals.
Methods: Included were middle-aged adults (40-64 years) and older adults (≥ 65 years) from the 2003-2004 years of the National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey. Light physical activity (LPA) and moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were collected via accelerometer and static balance via the Romberg Test of Standing Balance.
Results: No significant odds ratio relationship was found between MVPA or LPA and having good static balance in the middle-aged population; 1.04 (95% CI 0.95, 1.13) p = 0.427 and 1.05 (95% CI 0.97, 1.14) p = 0.182, respectively. Whereas, in older adults, every 60-min increase in LPA was significantly associated with 28% higher odds of good balance (95% CI 1.15, 1.41; p < 0.001), and every 10-min increase in MVPA with 25% higher odds of good balance (95% CI 1.08, 1.45; p = 0.006).
Discussion: LPA and MVPA were not associated with good static balance in middle-aged adults, but in older adults LPA was significantly associated with good static balance.
Conclusion: A significant relationship is found between age and fall risk, which is a major concern in the aging population.
