Aging and physical activity in self-perceived health status: A life-course perspective|Invecchiamento e attività fisica nello stato di salute auto percepito: uno sguardo con la prospettiva del corso di vita

Lifestyle is a determinant of health and promotes the perception, and more, of improved sub- jective condition. It is a determinant that can be usefully considered with the life course ap- proach since it is well known that health risk factors sometimes originate and accumulate in a time before its manifestation. Analysis of SHARE data-with the use of some variables that take into account socioeconomic status-will be conducted to capture whether increased phys- ical activity (and the timing of this change) is correlated with better perceived health among subjects of different age groups, with reference to the elderly.
