28 | Chapter 2 Physical activity and fall-related fractures Figure 2.3 shows the amount of physical activity for participants who did and did not experience a fracture, stratified for non-frail and frail older adults. Among participants who did not experience a fracture, the mean amount of physical activity for non-frail adults was 68.4 (SD 50.6) minutes and was significantly higher compared to frail older adults with 34.8 (SD 28.0) daily minutes of physical activity per day (95% CI of the difference: 28.7 to 50.4 minutes per day). Among participants who experienced a fracture, the mean daily amount of physical activity among non-frail adults was 67.1 (SD 39.3) minutes and was significantly higher compared to frail older adults with 27.6 (SD 25.1) daily minutes of physical activity per day (95% CI of the difference:-0.66 to 15.11 minutes per day). No difference in amount of physical activity was found between participants who experienced a fracture and participants who did not experienced a fracture with the same frailty status. Figure 2.3. Amount of physical activity at least at light-high intensity per day for participants who did and did not experience a fracture during follow-up, stratified for non-frail (n=215) and frail (n=96) older adults.
