Perceived health is a widely used proxy for measuring individuals' health status across different populations, including older adults. This measure is commonly reported as a subjective indicator, as a strong predictor of longer-term morbidity and mortality, and as a method to identify high-risk groups with health needs. This study examined differences in physical activity (PA) and physical function (PF) among older adults living in a retirement community located in the Midwest region of the United States as a function of perceived health. Results suggest that older adults perceiving their health as excellent reported significantly higher PA and performed significantly better on PF assessments than those reporting it as good or fair. Programs focusing on increasing PA in older adults living in retirement communities should be considered as potential strategies to enhance the health and health perception of this population.
感知健康是一种广泛用于衡量不同人群（包括老年人）健康状况的替代指标。这一指标通常作为主观指标来报告，作为长期发病率和死亡率的有力预测指标，以及作为识别有健康需求的高危人群的一种方法。本研究考察了居住在美国中西部地区一个退休社区的老年人中，身体活动（PA）和身体功能（PF）因感知健康状况不同而存在的差异。结果表明，自认为健康状况极佳的老年人报告的身体活动水平显著更高，并且在身体功能评估中的表现也明显优于那些认为自己健康状况良好或一般的老年人。对于居住在退休社区的老年人，专注于增加其身体活动的项目应被视为改善这一人群健康和健康感知的潜在策略。
