Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the association of physical activity with socioeconomic conditions, demographic factors, depression, and loneliness among older adults with diabetes in the United States. Using data from Wave 3 of the National Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (NSHAP), we found that male respondents, those with incomes greater than $100,000, and those with less depression were more likely to be physically active among older adults with diabetes. Education level and loneliness were not significant factors influencing physical activity among older adults with diabetes. This suggests that changing gender-based social norms and increasing awareness of the need for physical activity should be considered when designing physical activity interventions for older adults with diabetes and highlights the need for programs to reduce disparities in physical activity opportunities among low-income populations. It also suggests the need to further integrate programs to promote mental health, such as depression, into physical activity interventions.
