Abstract

Encouraging the uptake of physical activity among a culturally diverse elderly population presents a challenge for health‐care providers across the world. Little is known about the health‐care needs of these populations, for example the increasingly ageing group of Chinese elders in many parts of the world who are now facing later life and increasing challenges to their health.
