ABSTRACT
Background: The increase in the number of elderly people needs to be balanced with increased expectations and quality of life. One of the causes of the low quality of life of the elderly is influenced by a lack of physical activity.

This study aims to determine the effect of physical activity on the quality of life of the elderly.
