Countless numbers of people have eaten in this kitchen and gone on to lead normal lives.

Older adults with limited mobility may lower their risk of heart attack and coronary death for every minute of physical activity, according to research in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
“Reducing time spent being sedentary even by engaging in low-intensity activities could have important cardiovascular benefits for older adults with mobility limitations,” said Thomas W. Buford, Ph.D., senior author of the study and director of the Health Promotion Center of the University of Florida Institute on Aging in Gainesville, Florida.
In the Lifestyles Interventions and Independence for Elders Study (LIFE), researchers measured movement with accelerometers in 1,170 people ages 74-84 at eight centers across the United States who had physical limitations but could walk 400 meters (about 1,312 feet).
Accelerometer readings of fewer than 100 counts a minute were considered sedentary periods. Anything more was deemed physical activity:
Using factors such as age, cholesterol levels and blood pressure, the researchers calculated participants’ predicted 10-year risk of heart attack or coronary death and found:
Generally, most physical activity recommendations suggest that adults should engage in higher intensity activities — readings around 2,000 counts a minute — to improve or maintain health. But that level might not be realistic for sedentary older adults with limited mobility, researchers said.
“In the past, much of the emphasis was placed on engaging in structured physical exercise,” Buford said. “It is becoming increasingly evident, however, that encouraging individuals to just reduce the amount of time they spend being sedentary may have important cardiovascular benefits.”
Because study participants were active in a narrow range of intensity, researchers aren’t sure if intensity doesn’t matter.
“The idea is that, even if you exercise for an hour in the morning, if you go and sit for eight hours the rest of the day you may have health risks that are independent of the fact you exercised,” Buford said. “This stresses the need for regular intervals of low-level movement and to avoid sitting for excessive stretches of time.
