Although all adults gain substantial health benefits from engaging in regular physical activity, older adults (aged 65 years and older) can acquire specific health benefits, including improved muscle strength, bone health, and physical function ( 2018 Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee

Leeds, United Kingdom, examined the relationship between the single-item measure the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and demonstrated only modest correct classification ( κ = .45). However, in this study, only 12.6% of adults met the WHO PA guidelines, which is well below

A minimum level of activity likely to improve sleep outcomes among older people has not previously been explored. In a representative UK sample aged 65+ (n = 926), cross-sectional regressions controlling for appropriate confounders showed that walking at or above the internationally recommended threshold of ≥ 150 min per week was significantly associated with a lower likelihood of reporting insomnia symptoms (OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.45−0.91, p < .05). At a 4-year follow-up (n = 577), higher walking levels at baseline significantly predicted a lower likelihood of reporting sleep onset (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.42−0.97, p < .05) or sleep maintenance (OR = 0.63, 95% CI = 0.41−0.95, p < .05) problems. These results are consistent with the conclusion that current physical activity guidelines can support sleep quality in older adults.
