There is strong evidence that active engagement in creative and physical activities in later life can have a protective or restorative impact on psychosocial and brain health including cognitive, motor, emotional and social functioning. The aim of this research is to survey older adults' preferences, practices and barriers to engagement in creative and physical activities. We are doing this by conducting telephone survey/interviews with older people (>60yr) from the community regarding their current and past engagement in physical and creative activities, and any barriers and enablers. We anticipate recruiting approximately 400 participants.
