Increased levels of exercise are currently recommended to improve health and increase longevity, but gaps in our knowledge impede the formulation of evidence-based recommendations, particularly in older individuals.1 Most studies of physical activity in old age have focused on self-reported physical activity measures, which are affected by recall bias. Moreover, few studies have examined the contribution of nonexercise physical activity to survival in old age.2- 4 We tested the hypothesis that an objective measure of total daily activity, including both exercise and nonexercise physical activity, is associated with longevity in community-dwelling older persons.
