What older adults say about participating in health-promoting activities to prevent frailty: a qualitative study
Older adults' perceptions of health-promoting activities were influenced by personal, inter-personal and environmental factors. Contextualizing lifestyle modification programs that address their preferences and real-life situations may facilitate engagement. Older adults may also benefit from future initiatives that empower them to choose among feasible options to increase their self-efficacy for preventing frailty.
