Popis: article i nfo Available online 15 January 2014 Objective.To examine the association between household physical activity (HPA) and all-cause mortality in a cohort of older adults from Spain, and the role of sedentary time on this association. Method. Prospectivecohortstudy of 2874 individuals aged ≥62 years.In 2003, the time spentinHPA and the time spentseatedwere self-reported.The association of HPA with all-cause mortalitythrough2011wasassessed with Cox regression. Results. During the follow-up, 970 participants died. In men, HPA was inversely associated with the risk of deathonly amongthose with longersittingtime (≥8 h/d):comparedtothose whodidnot do HPA, themortality hazard ratio (HR) was 0.80 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.60-1.08) and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.27-0.69) for those who spentN0to2h/dandN2 h/dinHPA, respectively(Pfor trendb 0.001). In women,sitting timedid notmodifythe study association. Thus, compared to women who spent b2 h/d in HPA, the HR for mortality was 0.72 (95% CI: 0.56-0.93) and 0.52 (95% CI: 0.39-0.70) for those who spent N2 to 4 h/d, and N 4h /d in HPA, respectively (P for trend b 0.001). Conclusion. In women, HPA is associated with reduced mortality regardless of sitting time. HPA may also
