🏃‍♂️ Move More, Age Well: The Power of Exercise for Older Adults 🎧

Canada is becoming a super-aged country, and the effects of ageing—frailty, cognitive decline, and chronic diseases—are on the rise. But could physical activity be a way to turn the tide?

In this episode of the @CMAJ Podcast, hosts Dr. Mojola Omole and Dr. Blair Bigham explore the benefits of exercise for older adults, from preventing falls to improving overall well-being. They’re joined by @DrSamirSinha, Director of Health Policy Research at the NIA, and Steve Di Ciacca, Program Manager at the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging to discuss how older adults can safely incorporate movement into their lives.

💡"Exercise or regular physical activity can help prevent up to 30 different chronic conditions. It can help prevent the onset and development of dementia, it can help older adults stay healthy and independent." — Dr. Samir Sinha
