Does physical activity have an impact on the quality of life of the elderly?
What if the individual only takes up physical activity later in life?
Previous studies have examined the effects of mid-life physical activity on healthy ageing, but not the effects of taking up activity later in life.
This on-line course examines the association between physical activity and healthy ageing over 8 years of follow-up for a group of individuals aged at around 63 years at the start of the study.
