Ustad A, Sverdrup K, Tangen G, Dohl O, Vereijken B, Thingstad P, et al.
Eur Rev Aging Phys Act . 2024 Jul; 21(1):20. PMID: 39014310
Background: Physical activity (PA) is imperative for healthy ageing and is a modifiable lifestyle factor. Accurate, clinically meaningful estimates of daily PA among older adults can inform targeted interventions to...

Tangen G, Sverdrup K, Taraldsen K, Persson K, Engedal K, Bekkhus-Wetterberg P, et al.
Front Aging Neurosci . 2023 Feb; 15:1101306. PMID: 36820757
Background: Mobility impairments, in terms of gait and balance, are common in persons with dementia. To explore this relationship further, we examined the associations between mobility and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)...

Sverdrup K, Bergh S, Selbaek G, Saltyte Benth J, Husebo B, Roen I, et al.
BMC Geriatr . 2021 Jun; 21(1):396. PMID: 34187380
Background: Traditional performance-based measurements of mobility fail to recognize the interaction between the individual and their environment. Life-space (LS) forms a central element in the broader context of mobility and...

Sverdrup K, Selbaek G, Bergh S, Strand B, Thingstad P, Skjellegrind H, et al.
Arch Gerontol Geriatr . 2021 Apr; 95:104400. PMID: 33798998
Background: Literature on physical performance in older adults across the cognitive spectrum remains inconclusive, and knowledge on differences between dementia subtypes is lacking. We aim to identify distinct physical-performance deficits...

Ageing Res Rev . 2021 Feb; 67:101298. PMID: 33592308
Background: Engaging aged residential care (ARC) residents with physical activity (PA) may be a useful strategy to decelerate dependence and disability. It is unclear what volume, intensity and patterns of...

Aging Clin Exp Res . 2020 Feb; 32(12):2603-2610. PMID: 32060802
Background: In nursing homes (NH) the prevalence of dementia ranges from 50 to 84% and most residents have extensive physical-performance impairments. However, from time of admission, development of physical performance...

BMC Geriatr . 2018 Jan; 18(1):30. PMID: 29378518
Background: Earlier studies show that the main reasons for admission to long-term nursing home care are cognitive impairment and functional impairments of activities of daily life. However, descriptive evidence of...
