Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine factors related to participation in an exercise program for nursing home residents. Logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the effects of sex, age, length of residence, required nursing care and commitment to group activities. Subjects were 80 residents older than 60 years of age living in a nursing home. Of these, 38 residents participated in the program and 42 residents did not. Logistic regression analysis results revealed significant effects due to age, length of residence, and commitment to group activities outside the exercise program. Furthermore, effects were stronger for younger participants and for participants whose length of residence in the nursing home was shorter. Verf.-Referat
