The Physical Activity and Nutrition Program for Seniors (PANS) program aimed to increase levels of physical activity and improve the diet of insufficiently active community-based seniors aged 60 to 70 years using a range of strategies. Comprehensive process evaluation was used to determine the suitability and appropriateness of the resources and effectiveness of the strategies.
Process evaluation data (qualitative and quantitative) were collected on the program strategies and resources throughout, and at the conclusion of the intervention period.
The program strategies/resources were found to be relevant to the population, assisting participants to increase their level of physical activity and improve their diet. Participants reported that the program resources were suitable for their age-group (84%), encouraged them to think about physical activity (78%), and nutrition (70%). Participants reported that they used the pedometer (91%) and recorded daily steps (78%). Moreover, the provision of group guides facilitated individuals to set and achieve personal goals.
The PANS strategies and resources were appropriate, which supported the seniors in identifying, establishing, and achieving their physical activity and nutrition goals. Minor refinements of the program were recommended based on the findings.
老年人身体活动与营养计划（PANS）旨在通过一系列策略，提高60至70岁身体活动不足的社区老年人的身体活动水平并改善其饮食。采用全面的过程评估来确定资源的适用性和适当性以及策略的有效性。
在整个干预期以及干预期结束时，收集有关该计划策略和资源的过程评估数据（定性和定量）。
发现该计划的策略/资源与目标人群相关，有助于参与者提高身体活动水平并改善饮食。参与者报告称，该计划资源适合他们这个年龄组（84%），鼓励他们思考身体活动（78%）和营养（70%）。参与者报告称他们使用了计步器（91%）并记录了每日步数（78%）。此外，提供小组指导有助于个人设定并实现个人目标。
PANS策略和资源是合适的，支持老年人确定、制定并实现他们的身体活动和营养目标。根据研究结果，建议对该计划进行一些细微改进。
