Differences in life expectancy in women by accelerometer-measured PA/ST across frailty index status. Lower life expectancy for TVPA, MVPA, and LPA was calculated by comparing the estimated life expectancy of individuals within the top tertile to those in the medium and low tertiles. Conversely, for ST, the calculation of reduced life expectancy was based on comparing individuals in the low tertile to those in the medium and top tertiles. TVPA, total volume of physical activity; MVPA, moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity; LPA, light-intensity physical activity; ST, sedentary time; LE, life expectancy
