Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the societal roles and exercise participation of older women in disadvantaged Mexican communities.
  • To identify potential health promotion strategies based on the findings.

Main Methods:

  • A collaborative project between Mexican and USA researchers.
  • Utilized Roy's Adaptation Model as a theoretical framework.

Main Results:

  • 40% of the surveyed older women expressed contemplation of engaging in some form of exercise.

Conclusions:

  • Despite traditional norms, a significant portion of older women in disadvantaged areas show interest in exercise.
  • There are considerable opportunities for targeted health promotion programs for this population.
