Racial and Educational Differences in Physical Activity among Older Adults.

Clark, Daniel O.

Gerontologist, v35 n4 p472-80 Aug 1995

Investigated the association of race and education with five different measures of self-reported physical activity. Rates of physical activity were low among white Americans and even lower among African Americans. However, a majority of racial variation in activity was accounted for by racial differences in educational attainment. (Author/JBJ)
