Did you know?
While not a disease, ageing is the most powerful risk factor for nearly all diseases such as arthritis and cancer to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to heart disease and dementia.
People over the age of 65, more than any other age group, require adequate fitness levels to help them maintain independence, recover from illness and reduce their high risk of disease.1
