Summary

Today's world is characterized among other things by a progressive increase in the aging population, due to a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in life expectancy. In developed countries, the number of older people is increasing, largely due to significant advances in health sciences and new life habits. The aim of this study is to describe an active population over 60 years old, which complies with the concept of successful aging, in order to know its characteristics both at a physical and mental health level and to be able to make recommendations from physiotherapy. Active people over 60 years of age recruited from two associations (Amics de la Nau Gran, and Hogares) from the city of Valencia, Spain will be part of the study.

Pain was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale, the level of physical activity performed using the IPAQ questionnaire, quality of life using the SF-12v2, sleep quality using the Pittsburg questionnaire, and mood using the depression scale and Goldberg's anxiety, as well as functional tests to assess respiratory status.
