ABSTRACT
Older men (50 years and over) in the UK are living longer compared to half a century ago.1 However, this increase in life expectancy has occurred alongside the increase in the prevalence of lifestyle-related illness and/or disorders such as noninsulin-dependent diabetes and obesity.2 The UK Government highlighted that these poor public health occurrences are underpinned by decreasing levels of physical activity (PA) and the greater consumption and availability of processed foods.3
These public health issues have led the UK government to support and finance health promotion schemes.4
