Da oltre un trentennio sono stati evidenziati i danni che la sedentarieta puo provocare nell’organismo umano. Tali danni si manifestano a carico della struttura e della funzione del nostro organismo e possono configurare un quadro di invecchiamento precoce e un aumento di morbilita e mortalita. Purtroppo ancora oggi la sedentarieta caratterizza lo stile di vita di un elevato numero di soggetti anziani ed e quindi necessaria la attuazione di programmi miranti a ridurne la prevalenza. La lotta contro le nefaste conseguenze della sedentarieta si basa sulla conoscenza e l’eliminazione delle eventuali cause e sulla attuazione di adeguati programmi di attivita fisica, che si sono dimostrati capaci di ridurre la mortalita e la morbilita nella popolazione senile.;

Keywords:Anziani, sedentarieta, morbilita, mortalita, esercizio.
