Motives to practice exercise in old age and successful aging: A latent class analysis.

Purpose The aim was to classify motives for exercising trying to find sets of related cases that share common motivations, and to relate these latent classes to markers of successful aging. Methods 725 old adult aged 55 to 97 years were sampled in several Spanish towns. Instruments: Successful Aging...

      ab: Purpose The aim was to classify motives for exercising trying to find sets of related cases that share common motivations, and to relate these latent classes to markers of successful aging. Methods 725 old adult aged 55 to 97 years were sampled in several Spanish towns. Instruments: Successful Aging Inventory (SAI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Health Survey SF-8, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and motives to practice exercise, were used. Latent Class Analyses (LCAs) were estimated. The classes obtained were compared on markers of successful aging. Results Three latent classes were deemed optimal. Significant differences for several markers of successful aging were found. Conclusion A main conclusion derived from the results is that not all old people do exercise for the same motives, and the class of motives you are in had an impact/relation on markers of successful aging. Motives related to internal rather than external pressures should be promoted in the old age.
