Overview

Descriptive analysis highlights physical activity levels among middle-aged and older adults, indicating intervention needs for certain demographics.

Key Points

  • About 65% of adults aged 45–85 meet the recommended 150 minutes of moderate-vigorous physical activity weekly.
  • Mean PASE score for participants was 151, with significant variations based on age, sex, and socioeconomic status.
  • The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
  • Findings suggest targeted interventions are needed for older females and individuals with lower education and income levels.
