Older adults’ inactivity stems from barriers, not choice, experts tell UK MPs, urging coordinated action for healthier ageing.
Sir Muir Gray, an Oxford expert, told UK MPs that older adults’ inactivity is often due to social and environmental barriers, not personal choice, urging better coordination among health services, councils, and communities to support healthy ageing.
Speaking before a parliamentary committee led by MP Layla Moran, he stressed physical activity’s role in preventing illness and improving wellbeing.
The committee is exploring policies to help people age independently and actively, with Gray’s Optimal Ageing Programme aiming to extend healthy life expectancy and reduce inequalities through activity, independence, and social connection.
