The trend of extended life expectancy along with a sedentary lifestyle is typical in Western cultures.
To explore adherence to physical activity recommendations in older adults in Israel.
A random sample of 1,536 Jews and 316 Arabs age 65+ were interviewed and divided into sufficiently active, insufficiently active, and inactive groups based on official guidelines.
Only 36.4% of the Jewish sector and 19.6% of the Arab sector are sufficiently active. Men are more active than women, the secular are more active than the religious among both Jews and Arabs, and more years of education, a higher income, and fewer diseases and medications are related to higher levels of physical activity.
To slow down biological age decline with physical activity, intervention programs specifically tailored for culturally diverse groups are suggested-for example, recruiting prominent religious leaders to promote physical activity in religious populations.
在西方文化中，预期寿命延长且生活方式久坐不动是典型现象。
探讨以色列老年人对体育活动建议的遵循情况。
对1536名65岁及以上的犹太人和316名阿拉伯人进行随机抽样访谈，并根据官方指南将他们分为充分活跃、不够活跃和不活跃组。
只有36.4%的犹太人群体和19.6%的阿拉伯人群体充分活跃。男性比女性更活跃，在犹太人和阿拉伯人中，世俗人群比宗教人群更活跃，受教育年限更多、收入更高以及疾病和药物更少与更高水平的体育活动相关。
为了通过体育活动减缓生物年龄下降，建议针对文化多元群体制定专门的干预计划——例如，招募知名宗教领袖在宗教人群中推广体育活动。
