• Physical activity and functional limitations in older adults: a systematic review related to Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines (2010, background): “[35] noted that for those with intact mobility the risk of dependency did not differ between active and sedentary.”
• The Role of Healthcare Robots for Older People at Home: A Review (2014, background): “Physical and functional decline is often a reason why older people cannot remain independent [25].”
• Life-course perspective for physical activity and sports participation (2011, background): “There is presumably a wide continuum of physical activity levels among people with and without health problems, and it is known that despite the overall greater risk, people with even severe health problems may be able to prevent further disability and mortality by means of physical exercise [53].”
