Physical activity in older women: associations with area deprivation and with socioeconomic position over the life course: observations in the British Women’s Heart and Health Study

Objective:To assess the association between residential area-level deprivation, individual life-course socioeconomic position and adult levels of physical activity in older British women.Methods:A cross-sectional study of 4286 British women aged 60–79 years at baseline, who were randomly selected fr...

There was a cumulative effect of life-course socioeconomic position on physical activity, with the proportion who undertook no moderate or vigorous activity per week increasing linearly with each additional indicator of life-course socioeconomic position (p
