Abstract
The aim of this study was an evaluation of the possibilities of physical activity for the elderly in a region of France where 24% of the population is over 65 years old. It stressed the very poor level of physical activity in the community as well as in nursing homes. This situation is linked to a combination of factors: lack of interest, insufficient information and financial constraints. The 5-year plan we are developing in this region aims at the development of the practice of physical activity, to maintain as long as possible the autonomy and the quality of life of this growing elderly population.
