DESCRIPTION:The risk of aging-related motor impairment at age 65 is ~15% a
 nd doubles each decade of life thereafter.  This aging-related bradykinesi
 a greatly increases risk of the loss of independent living\, frailty\, and
  mortality.  The dramatic increase in the number of those above age 65 mak
 es it imperative to identify lifestyle strategies to minimize this risk.  
 Using rodent models of aging\, our lab presents results to show that calor
 ic restriction or regular exercise over at least 1/4th of the lifespan\, b
 eginning when or after locomotor decline occurs\, can offset this motor im
 pairment.
