Physical activity, physical mobility, and mental health among persons 70 years or older: results from a large population-based study in Sweden
The results suggest that physical activity is positively associated with mental health among older people with physical mobility. However, about one in three in the older population has impaired physical mobility with poorer mental health irrespective of physical activity. These results are important for promoting mental health in an aging population.
