Summary

While older women are disproportionately affected by chronic diseases and conditions associated with aging, including both physical and cognitive impairments, that can be alleviated or delayed by regular physical activity, few physical activity programs have been developed specifically with their needs in mind. This research aims to evaluate, in insufficiently active older women from the national WHISH pragmatic trial, the effects of a technology-driven "citizen science" approach to environmental physical activity barriers called Our Voice plus the ongoing "light-touch" remote physical activity educational program, compared to the "light-touch" remote physical activity educational program plus a control educational intervention that creates awareness around human and planetary health. This study will add important information on the benefits and trade-offs of combining these remotely delivered and practical behavioral health approaches to promote physical and cognitive health for the fast-expanding demographic group of U.S. older women.
