abstract="Frequencies of sport activities in the elderly were drawn from a survey on impairment carried out on a disproportionally stratified random sample of 480 men and women over 65 years of age. 43% of the women and 49% of the men aged 65 to 75 years indicated a sportive activity at least once a week. The same held true for 17% of the women and 27% of the men over 85 years of age. Elderly men had more possibilities to find adequate sportive activity without relying on organized senior-groups than women. Elderly men also seemed to care more intensively for physical activity than women. The term &quot;sport&quot; is interpreted by the elderly in different ways. Correlations of the frequencies of such activities with other factors are therefore unrealistic.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
