Healthy ageing is a Welsh Government priority (Strategy for Older People in Wales, 2013), which includes physical activity (PA). Unfortunately, older adults are the least active population (Townsend et al., 2015) resulting in negative consequences for wellbeing, health and social care costs (Office for National Statistics, 2012). BAME older adults are particularly inactive, with elevated Type 2 diabetes incidence (Ige-Elegbede et al., 2019) thus this research will specifically seek to incorporate BAME older adults, to ensure relevance of findings across the population. Aim Enable older adults to live independent, purposeful, fulfilled lives within connected communities, by establishing ways their home environment can enable PA and enhance wellbeing. Objectives(1) Understand how the geography of older adults' homes interacts with PA, sedentary behaviour, psychological states, cognition and wellbeing; (2) Monitor older adults' PA and sedentary behaviour and examine associations with psychological states, wellbeing and cognition; (3) Develop ways to optimise older adults' home environments to influence PA, wellbeing and independence.

健康老龄化是威尔士政府的首要任务（威尔士老年人战略，2013），其中包括体力活动（PA）。不幸的是，老年人是最不活跃的人群（Townsend 等，2015），这对福祉、健康和社会护理成本造成负面影响（国家统计局，2012）。 BAME 老年人特别不活跃，2 型糖尿病发病率较高（Ige-Elegbede 等人，2019），因此这项研究将特别寻求将 BAME 老年人纳入其中，以确保研究结果在整个人群中的相关性。目标 通过建立家庭环境能够实现 PA 和增强福祉的方式，使老年人能够在互联的社区中过上独立、有目标、充实的生活。目标(1) 了解老年人家中的地理位置如何与 PA、久坐行为、心理状态、认知和福祉相互作用； (2) 监测老年人的体力活动和久坐行为，并检查其与心理状态、幸福感和认知的关联； (3) 制定优化老年人家庭环境的方法，以影响 PA、福祉和独立性。
