Some adults don’t get their biometric screenings that shows them levels of certain areas of their health such as blood pressure, weight, lipids levels and triglycerides. These are important aspects of health especially to those that eliminates physical activity out of their lives known as physical inactivity.4Physical inactivity is responsible for one in 10 deaths among U.S. deaths among U.S. adults. 4Eighty percent of American adults do not meet the governments physical activity recommendations for aerobic and muscle strengthening; sixty percent of adults are not sufficiently active to achieve health benefits. This deficient leads to increased hospital visits and healthcare costs from the adult population. 4Sedentary adults $11,500 more per year in healthcare costs than physically active adults. 4Reports of physical inactivity rates among adults are based on the number of survey respondents of who stated they did not engage in physical activity or exercise during the previous 30 days than doing their regular jobs. Among these individuals 4Mississippi had the highest reported percentage of inactivity among adults at 31.6 percent and Colorado had the lowest reported percentage of inactivity among adults at 16.4 percent. I believe that older adults are the most targeted individuals for inactivity because of the aging factor. Many older adults are set in their ways and changing that can become a problem from this and what they are accustomed to on a daily basis. There are older adults that have already developed chronic disease but if they were to incorporate a new physical activity regimen in their lives they may see a decrease in pain and suffering that they undergo. 6Physical activity is critically important in older adults in the prevention of disease, maintenance of independence and improvement of quality of life.
