Notes: EPA = everyday physical activity; numbers for the table are as follows. Total sample, n = 198; <85 years, n = 103; ≥85 years, n = 95; male gender, n =75; female, n = 125. Moderately and extremely active participants exhibited bursts of activity that met or exceeded 1 SD and 2 SD above the mean, respectively. Moderately and extremely inactive participants exhibited episodes of quiescence that met or exceeded 1 SD and 2 SD below the mean, respectively. Sedentary participants exhibited a complete absence of physical movement.
