Previous studies have suggested that engaging in physical activity may decrease the loss of physical function caused by aging and OA ( Dunlop

PWD who take up a variety of exercise programs have better physical function, functional independence, quality of life, and cognitive function compared with those who remain inactive ( Forbes, Thiessen, Blake, Forbes, & Forbes

individuals in living facilities, including Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs; Davis et al., 2014 ; Reid et al., 2013 ). Specific to older adults, sedentary behavior (SB) is associated with impaired physical function, frailty, falls, all-cause mortality, depression, and self-efficacy ( Dunlop et
