Healthy Ageing Questionnaire Index

1. Physical activity is associated with Healthy Ageing Questionnaire Index in humans (0.85-point higher HAQ score per 100 MET-min/week; 95% CI 0.35–1.35).

   “each 100 MET-min/week increase in physical activity was associated with a 0.85-point higher HAQ score (95% CI 0.35-1.35; p = 0.001)”

1. Healthy Ageing Questionnaire Index lowers the risk of mortality in humans (HR 0.44 (95% CI 0.28-0.67)).
