Subjective Health and Physical-Activity Engagement across Adulthood: Distinguishing between Within-Person and Between-Person Associations

This study revealed various associations between subjective health and engagement in physical activity across levels (the within- vs. between-person level) and across age groups (younger vs. older group). The finding contributes to a better understanding of people ’s health behavior in reaction to health decline at different ages. It also supports the proposition that age-related intraindividual increases in losses (e.g., health decline) motivate behaviors that counteract such losses (e.g., physical activity that protects health).Gerontology
