Abstract

Conde Valero*

The risk profiles of older persons according to various degrees of physical exercise have not been extensively studied. Because of this, the purpose of this study was to determine whether aspects like quality of life, as well as demographics like gender and education, can predict how much physical activity an elderly population engages in. being a woman, having less education, scoring poorly in both functional skills and activity and leisure. Finally, factors of quality of life that affect how much physical activity the elderly engage in include gender, education, functional abilities, activity and leisure, and health. Age-related physiological changes can impact vulnerability as well as the emergence of physical and mental disorders. In the elderly, being physically fit is linked to improved quality of life, wellbeing, and mental health. Some scholars caution that the strain of society's ageing on state public health systems is another concern.
