Regular physical activity (PA) is likened with many wellness benefits. However,
inactivity is a prevalent concern among the older populations, which impacts their health and
functionality. Consequently, increasing PA among the old has become a critical public health
concern in Australia. According to the Victoria Burden of Disease study, there is 7.3 percent
mortality rate in males and 9.3 Percent in females all aged above 65 due to physical inactivity
(Rao, Warburton & Bartlett, 175). Some groups are especially at danger of inactive lifestyles
such as culturally and ethnically variant, the socioeconomically challenged, and the less
educated. These categories of older adults have high rates of disablement and are the least
included in physical activity programs.
While older populations who are diverse in culture are often the targets for community-
based PA intervention, there is little information that substantiates how appropriate PA
measurement practices are to these people. Besides, PA participation can be socially developed
with culture invariance linked to a particular practice. This survey seeks to find credibility of
proof of materials in culturally and linguistically sundry older people who participate in
community schemes through a comparison of self-report physical activity approximates and
quantifiers of physical operative. The research question that the study focusses on is:
, Surname 2
Do culturally and linguistically heterogeneous backgrounds have differences in PA
among elder adult populations?
What are the barriers preventing older adults from diverse backgrounds from
participating in physical activity?
What are the predictors of PA engagement in culturally-heterogeneous batch of older
individuals?
Method and Analysis
Study Setting and Recruitment
The survey was established in selected cities of Melbourne, a place of relative
socioeconomic challenge, significantly poor health, and large ethnic communities. Vietnamese,
Italian and Anglo-Celtic old men and women of age 60 and above from Melbourne were selected
through community groups, and welfare agencies. Italian population constituted a developed
immigrant group that settled in Australia post WWII (Rao, Warburton & Bartlett, 177). The
sample’s exclusion technique included eliminating those residing in residential care and severe
dementia that could not allow participation. Little understanding of English was not used in
exclusion criteria. Seventy-five individuals completed the study, and the study sample included
25 Anglo-Celtic, 25 Italian, and 25 Vietnamese men and women.
Survey Instrument
The study relied on traditional and globally ratified tools. The St. Louis scale, for
quantifying PA in ethnicities (Brownson Change 473). The instrument evaluates the extent in
which some aspects derail individuals from engaging in physical exercise. The scale poses
questions about safety, walking, and other factors while basing items on 5-point Likert scale.
