Physical Activity Correlates With The Aging Process in Seniors Broadly - A Review

A review of a correlation between physical activity, life satisfaction, and aging in the senior age group with Internet of Things (IoT) based Physical Activities (IoT-PA) model

Abstract

Lack of physical activity among seniors (65 and older) leads to premature aging, illness, and weakness. Engaging in Physical Activity (PA) and maintaining life satisfaction are identified as crucial factors for active aging, positively impacting mental and physical well-being. Life Satisfaction (LS), inversely related to health and longevity in seniors, is a key measure. Assessing the current state of LS in the elderly population and identifying contributing variables are essential for understanding good aging. To combat the pervasive fear of aging, wearable accelerometers evaluate PA, with the Internet of Things (IoT) based Physical Activities (IoT-PA) model showing promise in assessing LS due to age-related energy differences. This review paper discusses the benefits and challenges of virtual assistants in reducing sedentary lifestyles among seniors and presents technical findings from the suggested system. Encouraging regular physical exercise in the senior age group poses challenges for local governments, especially in low-income communities where engagement in physical activity remains low.

Keywords: Premature aging, Physical Activity (PA), Life Satisfaction (LS), Wearable accelerometer, Internet of Things (IoT) based Physical Activities (IoT-PA) model
