What is P05-12 Objectively measured physical activity, chronic illness and health service utilisation - a latent class analysis of activity behaviours in older adults about?

## Abstract ## Background Physical activity contributes to the prevention of chronic illness as well as promotion of physical and mental health, but most adults remain inactive. Chronic illness affects mainly middle aged and older adults, and very little objectively measured data on physical activity behaviours and associated health outcomes of this population is published. The aims of this study are to: 1. Objectively measure physical behaviour outcomes of adults participating in the Move for Life study; 2. Develop distinct activity profiles based on six behaviour variables; 3. Investigate whether health outcomes differ across the activity profiles. ## Methods Participants were Irish adults aged 50 years and older. Using the activPAL, objectively measured data were collected on average daily: light intensity physical activity (hours); moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (minutes); step count; time in bed (hours); standing time (hours); and waking sedentary time (hours). Data were obtained on chronic illness and health service utilisation. Validated questionnaires were used to collect data on wellbeing, loneliness and social isolation.
