Description

Saila Kyrönlahti and co-authors chart seven years of exercise habits among older Finns in this 2024 study. The data come from a large prevention trial with over a thousand people aged sixty to seventy-seven. Weekly moderate activity was logged five times across the follow-up.

Six habit profiles emerged, from a small always-active group to a low group that never rose. Nearly half of participants sat in a large, slowly declining middle group. People in the support program and those who valued exercise's benefits held high activity best. Low mood and pain, by contrast, predicted staying stuck at the bottom. The results help target support to elders most at risk of inactivity.
