Abstract

Background: There are many health and social benefits of physical activity (PA) for older adults but little is known about their activity patterns. Purpose: To objectively assess PA patterns of older adults, and the lifestyle and demographic factors associated with PA. Methods: Participants (n=230, aged 78.1 years) recruited from medical practices (between 2007-2008) completed journey logs and wore accelerometers for seven days. Mean daily steps, counts per minute (CPM), minutes of sedentary, light, or moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) and frequency of journeys were analysed (in 2009). Results: Younger participants (70-74.9y) were significantly (p11.6 journeys∙wk1) were significantly (p
