I wonder if they made the determination that the level of disability was due to being sedentary, or if being disabled led to being more sedentary.....
I’m late to the party, I see.
After spending some time caring for my m-i-l after an accident last year, and seeing the number of old people (of which I am becoming one against my will) who needed canes and walkers and wheelchairs, I determine that if I ended up that incapacitated, it would NOT be because of anything I did or did not do.
I thought to myself, *God help me. No disrespect to them, but I am NOT going to end up in that condition if I have anything to say about it*. So I’ve been working out 2-3 times a week for strength training, shoveling when I don’t do that, and walking when there is somewhere free from snow to walk.
Now, I also realize, that that generation was not into exercise and fitness as we are, so I’m interested in how working out and walking and gardening deliberately for the exercise, will affect those of us who do.
That has been the question many raised here.
