Unmet Physical Activity Need in Old Age

OBJECTIVES: To examine which individual and environmental factors correlate with unmet physical activity need in old age and predict development of unmet physical activity need (the feeling that one's level of physical activity is inadequate and thus distinct from the recommended amount of physical activity) over a 2‐year follow‐up.
