Physical activity and nutrition are important modifiable lifestyle factors that are important for healthy aging. This book contains three studies in community-dwelling older adults ( 60 years) aimed to: (1) evaluate the use of a physical activity questionnaire to predict physical health; (2) compare dietary intake with physical health parameters in an affluent population, and; (3) improve metabolic and physical health parameters. This study demonstrates that modifiable life factors, such as physical activity and diet, influence the healthy aging of older community-dwelling adults.
