TL;DR: Although TEE and PAEE were systematically underestimated during the 24 h period, the accelerometer assessed energy expenditure well during both the exercise period and the non-structured activities.

TL;DR: Evidence of PA’s role in reducing the risks of neurodegenerative diseases and helping to improve cognitive outcomes in older adults is provided, and some potential mechanisms by which this protective effect occurs are described.

TL;DR: There is a relationship between perceived chewing ability (number of foods considered chewable) and physical fitness in this 80-year-old population, thus preventative dental care aimed at preserving chewing ability may be able to enhance activities of daily life and quality of life in very elderly individuals.

TL;DR: Leg extensor power, stepping rate, and one-leg standing time with eyes open are useful indicators in evaluating lower extremity dynamic strength, agility, and balance function, respectively, and suggest that dental occlusal condition is associated with lower extremities dynamic Strength, Agility, and Balance function in elderly adults.

TL;DR: Results indicate that overweight and obese individuals have a lower step rate and are spending less time for moderate to vigorous PA, an important predictor of overweight and obesity.
