ABSTRACT:

Background

Older adults are the fastest-growing and most sedentary group in society. With sedentary behaviour associated with negative health outcomes, reducing sedentary time may improve overall well-being. Adults aged ≥ 75 years are underrepresented in sedentary behaviour research, and tailored strategies to reduce sedentary time may be warranted.
