Brief Summary

Although increasing age is associated with declining health and function, there are wide variations between individuals in the ageing process. Some of these differences are explained by differences in lifestyle, but little is known about the determinants of lifestyle in older age. The proposed project will describe influences on health behaviour and lifestyle in older adults. Investigators will undertake a prospective study of community-dwelling older people who use any of the Medicine for Older People Services in Southampton, allowing us to gain obtain important insights into the relationship between health behaviour, lifestyle and health outcomes in older people. Our principal aim is to identify key points on the ageing pathway when interventions may be best targeted to promote health. The findings of this project will underpin the design for a complex intervention to be conducted in the future to improve the health outcomes of older people.
