Overview
Objective:
The aim of quantitative research was to verify the influence of selected indicators (long-term illness or health problem, education, place of residence, financial situation) on physical activity in seniors 65+ living in the Czech Republic in the South Bohemian Region.
Aim:
The research file was made up of 326 people 65+ who lived in their own household in the South Bohemian Region. The criterion for inclusion was the age of respondents aged 65+, permanent residence in the South Bohemian Region, absence of cognitive impairment and living in a separate household.
Methods:
The HLS-EU-Q16 standardized questionnaire (European Questionnaire for Health Literacy Survey) was selected, which was extended by several own issues of socio-demographic nature. Data collection was conducted in the form of a structured interview conducted by trained interviewers.
Results:
A statistically significant correlation between long-term illness and movement activities in the last month has been demonstrated. There was no statistically significant link between seniors’ education and physical activities performed by seniors in the last month. A statistically significant correlation between movement activities in the last month and the place of residence of seniors has been demonstrated. There was a statistically significant correlation between the seniors• physical activities during the last 30 days and the financial situation in the form of end-of-month payment problems.
Conclusion:
It is necessary to increase the awareness of seniors about the contribution of age-related physical activity to health. Seniors need not only enough access to information about physical activity, they also need to understand this information and, in particular, learn how to use it in everyday life.
