Exploring the perceptions of sedentary behaviour in community-dwelling older adults aged 75 and older: a series of focus group interviews

This study provided insights into older adults' reports of sedentary behaviour progressing throughout older adulthood. When compared to the wider literature, sedentary behaviour in adults aged ≥ 75 years present similarly to a younger subset of older adults with regards to the activities performed in sitting, and the barriers and facilitators to reducing their sedentary time. However, the activities performed in sitting may be performed for longer, and the barriers to reducing sedentary behaviour may present more frequently. Social support appears valuable when attempting to reduce sedentary time, however, further research is necessary to explore the views of older adults who are socially isolated.
