In the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) Study, a structured moderate-intensity physical activity program, compared with a health education program, was shown to significantly reduce the amount of time spent with major mobility disability (MMD) over the course of 3.5 years. We aimed to determine whether the benefit of the physical activity program in promoting independent mobility was diminished in the setting of intervening hospitalizations.; Keywords: Mobility disability, Physical activity, Randomized controlled trial, Hospitalizations.; Springer Open. %[ 2018-10-12 %9 Text %~ Tufts Digital Library %W Institution
