Healthy aging is the ability to maintain independence, purpose, vitality, and quality of life into old age despite unexpected medical conditions, accidents, and unhelpful social determinants of health. Exercise, or physical activity, is an important component of healthy aging, preventing or mitigating falls, pain, sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and cognitive impairment. A well-balanced exercise program includes daily aerobic, strength, balance, and flexibility components. Most older adults do not meet the currently recommended minutes of regular physical activity weekly. Counseling by health care providers may help older adults improve exercise habits, but it is also important to take advantage of community-based exercise opportunities.
健康老龄化是指尽管面临意外的医疗状况、事故和无益的健康社会决定因素，仍能保持独立、有目标、充满活力和生活质量的能力。运动或体育活动是健康老龄化的一个重要组成部分，可以预防或减轻跌倒、疼痛、肌肉减少症、骨质疏松症和认知障碍。一个均衡的锻炼计划包括每天的有氧运动、力量训练、平衡和灵活性训练。大多数老年人每周没有达到目前建议的定期体育活动分钟数。卫生保健提供者的咨询可以帮助老年人改善锻炼习惯，但利用社区提供的锻炼机会也很重要。
