New trends have shown that our elderly population have decreased their physical activity during the pandemic, too scared to keep up their social and physical activities for fear of infection.
- University of Southern Queensland Senior Lecturer in Public Health Dr Paul Gardiner says more age-friendly and inclusive policies are needed in order to protect the elderly so they can continue in their future of active aging. He says more needs to be done to make them feel comfortable - including access to new and useful technologies. Media contact: Nicholas Britnell 0477 007 443 and Sarah Green 0417 799 331
