Cohort profile: baseline characteristics and design of the McMaster Monitoring My Mobility (MacM3) study – a prospective digital mobility cohort of community-dwelling older Canadians from Southern Ontario
Abstract
PURPOSE: The McMaster Monitoring My Mobility (MacM3) study aims to understand trajectories of mobility decline in later life using multisensor wearable technology.
