Summary

Obesity is a major public health concern in older adults, who are also one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. Engaging in healthy behaviors such as physical activity, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep have each shown to be influential in reducing obesity. The internet could be an effective tool for administering a wellness intervention for older adults. Our goal is to help older adults achieve healthy lifestyles that promote successful aging.

Internet Wellness Intervention for Aging

Internet technologies have emerged as a platform for performing wellness interventions that also have wide outreach. Previous studies that have used the internet for delivering health interventions have found that older adults valued this platform, used it for researching health information and social communications. Likewise, the effectiveness of delivering health-related information intended for behavior change through the internet is equal to that of print-based delivery, thereby lowering costs and expanding reach. Thus, the internet provides a unique platform for conducting interventions. The internet based wellness intervention will be a low cost method focused on older adults to help increase intrinsic motivation through autonomy, competence, and relatedness (Intrinsic Motivation) to help increase daily physical activity.
