Physical activity patterns and multimorbidity burden of older adults with different levels of functional status: NHANES 2003-2006.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPhysical function and physical activity decrease with age, but differences in physical activity patterns within different physical functioning groups are unknown.
objectivesTo describe physical activity patterns and multimorbidity burden by physical function group and age.
methodsActigraph accelerometer-derived physical activity patterns were compared by physical function (high functioning, activity limitations, activity of daily living disabled) determined by questionnaire and age among 2174 older adults (mean age = 70.9, sd = 0.2 years) from the cross-sectional 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Associations between physical function, physical activity, and multimorbidity were examined.
resultsReduced physical function and increased age were associated with lower physical activity, increased sedentary time and a compressed activity profile. During the most active hour of the day (11:00 a.m.), the oldest, lowest physical functioning group was 82% less active than the youngest, highest physical functioning group. High functioning had over 30% more total activity counts, over 56% more time in moderate-to-vigorous activity, about 8% less time sedentary and took approximately one more sedentary break/hour than lower physical functioning groups. Gender differences in physical activity variables were prevalent for high functioning, but limited within reduced physical functioning groups. Physical function, age, total activity counts/day, and breaks in sedentary time/day were independently associated with multimorbidity (p < 0.005).
conclusionsReduced physical function and increased age are associated with physical activity levels, and all three are associated with multimorbidity. Understanding physical activity differences by physical function is important for designing interventions for older individuals at increased risk for mobility disability.
