A Review of the Literature on Active AgeingThis literature review describes how member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and states and territories in Australia are interpreting WHO's Active Ageing Framework, with a specific focus on
the social determinants of health for the population of people 45 years and over.
It also provides a commentary on the five elements of active ageing proposed in the Australian context, namely, financial security, being active socially, mentally and physically and workforce participation.

A snapshot of the prevalence of physical activity amongst older, community dwelling people in Victoria, Australia: patterns across the 'young-old' and 'old-old'The aim of this study was to determine physical activity prevalence and attitudes amongst respondents aged 65 and over to a trial screening survey.
The results of the study suggest a need for a better understanding of the determinants of physical activity behaviour amongst older sub-groups. This information is likely to assist in tailoring and targeting physical activity promotion strategies and programs to maximise physical activity related health outcomes for older people.

Activity Energy Expenditure and Incident Cognitive Impairment in Older AdultsThe objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between activity energy expenditure (AEE), an objective measure of total activity, and incidence of cognitive impairment.
The findings indicate that greater AEE may be protective against cognitive impairment in a dose-response manner.

Aerobic Exercise Training Increases Brain Volume in Aging Humans These results suggest that cardiovascular fitness is associated with the sparing of brain tissue in aging humans. Furthermore, these results suggest a strong biological basis for the role of aerobic fitness in maintaining and enhancing central nervous system health and cognitive functioning in older adults.
