Résumé
Age- and lifestyle-related changes in respiratory and physical function affect cough strength. However, in older adults, the main factors that relate to cough strength remain unclear. This study was a preliminary investigation of factors that contribute to cough strength and the relationships between cough strength and respiratory function, physical performance, physical activity, and sedentary behavior in community-dwelling older adults.
