Determinants physical activity in middle-aged women: application trans theoretical model.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Physical activity is one of the most important indicators of health in the society and plays an important role in the lives of people, especially women. Nevertheless, one of the major challenges in modern society is the inactivity and lack of optimal physical activity of women, which has caused a rising prevalence in chronic diseases. Models and theories help to better understand these behaviors and better planning for behavior change in target groups. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the predictors of regular physical activity among middle-aged women based on the trans-theoretical model.

Design

The present study was conducted cross-sectionally on 250 middle-aged women (age range 45-59) covered by comprehensive health databases.
