Project title:Long-Term Physical Activity and Healthy Ageing in Women: Longitudinal analysis from the women's health ageing project

This project will investigate long term patterns of leisure time physical activity among Australian women through midlife and examine whether these patterns predict healthy ageing in later life. Using longitudinal data from the Women’s Healthy Ageing Project, which has followed women for over 20 years from midlife into older age, the study will identify common activity patterns and assess their associations with physical, cognitive, mental, and social health outcomes.
