• Description:
  Successful aging is largely determined by individual lifestyle choices and not by genetic inheritance. Few factors con­ tribute as much to successful aging as having a physically active lifestyle. Regular physical activity is important for the primary and secondary prevention of many chronic diseases (e.g., coronary heart disease, non­insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, obesity), disabling conditions (e.g., osteo­ porosis, arthritis), and chronic disease risk factors (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol).
