Objective: This study tested whether the subjective age tends to decrease after following a fall preventive program. This study also examines whether physical abilities and psychological resources at baseline are associated with this decrease in subjective age. Finally, this study tested to what extent the evolution of subjective age is concomitant with the evolution of these physical abilities and psychological resources between the beginning and the end of the program.

- Moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) is recognized for preventing chronic diseases; however, recent studies are increasingly focusing on light intensity physical activity (LPA) due to its potential role in reducing sedentary behavior (SB).
- A study involving 1,011 older adults tracked various physical activities, revealing that higher levels of both LPA and MVPA were associated with lower rates of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality over an 18-year follow-up.
- Results demonstrated that while LPA and MVPA significantly impacted mortality rates, SB did not show a significant relationship, highlighting the need for more understanding of LPA's effects on public health.

To advance research on the psychological factors related to aging-related functional limitations, this study examined the relation between personality traits and both concurrent and incident functional limitations, tested whether these associations are similar across IADLs and ADLs, and tested potential mediators of these associations. Participants were drawn from eight longitudinal samples from the U.
