  • Addressing physical inactivity in older adults is a global health priority.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess community readiness to address physical inactivity among older adults in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan.
  • To identify barriers to physical activity for seniors in this community.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative interviews with key community informants.
  • Application of a validated community readiness tool.

Main Results:

  • The community is in the early stages of readiness to combat older adult physical inactivity.
  • Identified barriers include misconceptions, family-centeredness, resource scarcity, passive leadership support, and lack of community initiatives.
  • In-depth analysis of responses is vital when using the community readiness tool.

Conclusions:
