Abstract |
Introduction: The phenomenon of aging population is affecting Greece resulting to increased
morbidity of chronic diseases. Physical activity can help manage chronic diseases and identifying
factors that influence adherence to physical activity has not been investigated extensively in middle
aged and elderly Greeks.
Aim: To determine the level of physical activity in people aged 50 and over in Greece, and the
correlation of physical activity levels with sociodemographic variables, health variables and self rated
health.
Methods: The study population consists of 2669 Greeks, 50 years and older. The study data were
drawn from the first wave of the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE study)
For the statistical analysis we used logistic regression models, adjusting for potential confounders.
Results: Lack of physical activity in three categories studied (moderate, vigorous and sedentary) was
correlated with age, (OR 2.27, CI 95% 1.65-3.11 OR 2.04, CI 95% 1.65-2.53 and OR 2.69, CI 95%
1.87-3.87, respectively) health symptoms (OR 1.54, CI 95% 1.18-2.02, OR 1.25, CI 95% 1.01-1.54
and OR 1.74, CI 95% 1.29-2.35, respectively ), and poor self rated health (OR 1.88, CI 95% 1.42-
2.49, OR 1.35, CI 1.09-1.67 95% and OR 2.31, CI 95% 1.67 - 3.17 respectively).
Conclusions: The findings suggest the variety of factors affecting the level of physical activity in
Greeks aged 50 and over which requires further investigation in order to confirm these findings.
