Aging expectations and walking program for older couples
This study tests whether a program that combines gentle walking with exercises to rethink aging stereotypes can help couples 65 and older feel better and stay active. If you and your partner live in Barcelona, have internet access, and are willing to try a new approach, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
