Aim: To assess the relationship between low-to-moderate–intensity physical activity (LMPA) in 2011 and chronic diseases in 2011and2013amongolderEuropeanadults.Methods:Participants(16,157menand21,260women)from13Europeancountries were interviewed about the presence of chronic conditions and LMPA. The association between LMPA and number of chronic diseases was assessed using logistic regressionmodels.Results: Mostof theolder adults participated inLMPA more thanoncea week(81.9%),8.4%participated oncea week,and9.3%didnotparticipate.Theprevalenceofchronicdiseases wassignificantly lower among those who reported engaging in LMPA. The LMPA in 2011 was related with lower odds of having several chronic diseasesin2013.Conclusion:EngaginginLMPAisassociatedwithreducedriskforchronicdiseasesinolderEuropeanmenand women. Even the practice of LMPA once a week seems to be enough to diminish the risk of having chronic diseases.
