Physical activity among adults greater than equal to 50 yr with and without disabilities, BRFSS 2001

A cross-sectional study is conducted using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) that describes the prevalence of inactivity and insufficient and recommended physical activity for older adults. Findings indicate that not all persons with disabilities can be active at recommended levels, but it is possible for the vast majority to do some types of physical activity, even if at insufficient levels.
