A Lifestyle Physical Activity Intervention for Older Sedentary Women
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Lifestyle Physical Activity Intervention and Information / Attention Comparison for Coronary Heart Disease. Completed, enrolled 121 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Making physical activity an integral part of daily life is imperative to the health and well-being of our nation's older adults. However, no intervention strategy to encourage daily physical activity for older adults, especially older women, has been effective. This feasibility study will test a multi-tailored motivational intervention to increase usual lifestyle physical activity of older sedentary women to reduce their coronary heart disease risks.
