Impact of physical activity on the association between lipid profiles and mortality among older people

Abstract High serum lipid levels are independent predictors of mortality risk in the general population. Recent data suggest that this may not apply in the older populations, and even acts in the opposite direction. In consideration of the frail state, minimum amount of physical activity (60–100 min...
