(P < 0.05), and more minutes of daily physical activity {P < 0.05);
there were no associations with gender.
Linear regression analyses were conducted to determine the predictors
of changes in daily minutes of physical activity and changes
in physical function following the intervention (Table 5). In a model
that included pre-test demographics, self-reported health, four
health conditions, physical activity, and BMI, as well as pre- and
post-test measures of physical function and barriers to physical
activity, the significant predictors of increases in daily physical
activity included not reporting arthritis, greater change in physical
function, and changing from agreeing to not agreeing with "30 minutes
daily is too much." In the physical function model, improvements
following the intervention were associated positively with
improved physical activity and having high blood pressure, and
negatively with age, poor self-reported health, and low physical
function at the pre-test (Table 5)
