Significant associations between multidimensional factors and physical activity among older adults: an application of Andersen’s behavioral model

Older adults' physical activity levels needed improvement. Among these factors, age-related limitations can hinder participation in activities, while gender differences result in varying preferences and abilities regarding activities. Promoting pension insurance and improving community facilities could boost activity. Self-assessed health status is strongly associated with levels of physical activity. Governments should implement evidence-based health education, tailored incentives, strengthened community support networks, and upgraded age-friendly infrastructure to boost participation. These measures enhance public health and advance active aging through building age-friendly societies.
