Abstract

This study compared physical activity (PA) and perceived health status in older adults living in seniors' housing (SEN) versus those living in nonseniors' housing (NON). After adjusting for potential confounders, PA levels were significantly higher in the NON group. No significant differences in health status were evident between housing groups. Regression analyses showed that both physical and mental health status were associated with PA level in the NON group. In the SEN group, only physical health status was significantly associated with PA level. This supports a positive relationship between health status and physical activity levels in older adults regardless of housing arrangement.
