Conclusions
A better understanding of the relationship between lifestyle
behaviours can accelerate our efforts to improve
health outcomes for which diet, physical activity and
sedentary behaviours are risk factors. The present study
contributes to the scarce literature related to lifestyle
behaviours and their association with health indicators
among older adults. The findings suggest that a modest
increase in F&V intake, or LTPA could have a marked
effect on the health of older adults. Further research is
needed to fully understand the correlates and determinants
of lifestyle behaviours, particular sitting time, in
this age group due to the lack of current research and
potential health benefits from lifestyle changes.
