Although the benefits of increased physical activity and exercise are universally recognized, many older persons remain sedentary, and relatively few achieve recommended levels of activity. Effective interventions to reverse the lack of physical activity in older adults are clearly needed. By understanding correlates of inactivity and appreciating those factors that contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, appropriate strategies can be employed to help order patients reap the benefits of increased physical activity and exercise. In this article, we offer to the reader a brief overview of the field as well as our own thoughts on how clinicians might help individual patients at a more practical level.
尽管增加身体活动和锻炼的益处已得到普遍认可，但许多老年人仍然久坐不动，达到推荐活动水平的人相对较少。显然需要有效的干预措施来扭转老年人缺乏身体活动的状况。通过了解缺乏活动的相关因素并认识到那些导致久坐生活方式的因素，可以采用适当的策略来帮助患者获得增加身体活动和锻炼带来的益处。在本文中，我们向读者简要概述该领域，并分享我们自己关于临床医生如何在更实际的层面帮助个体患者的想法。
