Respiratory Impairment and Dyspnea and Their Associations with Physical Inactivity and Mobility in Sedentary Community‐Dwelling Older Persons

Abstract

Respiratory impairment and dyspnea are prevalent in sedentary older persons and are associated with objectively measured physical inactivity and poor performance-based mobility. Because they are modifiable, respiratory impairment and dyspnea should be considered in the evaluation of sedentary older persons.
