dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study is to determine the physical activity levels of different age groups, to analyze the correlation between certain parameters related to health and the demographics of individuals and to evaluate their comparisons. Total number of 1043 voluntary participants, 368 males and 675 females, between 45 and 75 who are not confined to bed and cognitive functions of whom are sufficient were included in the current study. To collect data, Internation Physical Activity Questionnaires Short Form was used. In the analysis of the data, SPSS 22 package program was used. The Physical Activity Scores (MET) and the frequency distribution of demographics were determined by descriptive analysis whereas in order to analyze the IPAQ total scores and the correlation between health-related parameters and demographics, crosstab was applied (Sweet and Grace-Martin, 2003). The significance level was accepted as 0,05 in the analysis of data. According to the analysis results, in terms of ?age?, ?gender? and ?marital status?, significant differences were revealed in BMI, MET, chronic disease state and abdominal obesity states whereas in terms of MET levels, significant differences occurred in BMI, abdominal obesity and chronic disease state. Considering age variable, it was found that while 45-49 age group had normal weight (N=203), 70-75 age group had overweight (N=198); 45-49 age group had sufficient level of physical exercise and no abdominal obesity in their MET and abdominal obesity values (N=186) whereas 65-69 age group had low physical activity levels (N=132) and 70-75 age group had abdominal obesity (N=155). When MET levels are considered, the participants with sufficient level of physical activity consisted of participants with normal weight whereas the participants with low level of physical activity consisted of overweight and obese participants. According to the study results, while physical activity levels decrease with age, an increase in weight and abdominal circumference was observed; accordingly, the frequency of chronic diseases also increases. Therefore, it can be stated that Physical Activity has an impact on the protection of general health state and healthy aging.
