Abstract

Older adults in assisted living facilities (ALF) are at risk for low physical activity (PA) and high sedentary behavior (SB), both of which place them at risk for negative health outcomes. The purpose of this scoping review was to synthesize evidence describing the volume of device-measured PA/SB, factors associated with PA/SB, and interventions designed to change PA/SB in older adults living in ALF. Twenty articles representing 15 unique studies were identified from eight electronic databases and grey literature. Residents in ALF spent 96–201 min/day in light PA (n = 2 studies), 1–9.74 min/day in moderate to vigorous PA (n = 2 studies), and 8.5–11.01 hr/day of SB during waking hours (n = 3 studies). Factors associated with PA included 16 personal factors (n = 6 articles), one social factor (n = 2 articles), and two environmental factors (n = 2 articles). Factors associated with SB included 14 personal factors (n = 4 articles) and one social factor (n = 1 article). No intervention successfully changed PA/SB. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
