Due to the increasing growth of the elderly population and the importance of identifying effective factors on their physical activity, this study was done to determine physical activity and its effective factors among the elderly population of Khorramabad city.

Data were analyzed using independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, ANOVA and stepwise regression in SPSS ۲۲. Results: The mean age of participants was ۶۴.۲۰±۵.۵۱ years. The mean of physical activity was ۲۵۱.۰۲±۱۸۴.۸۱ MET-min/wk. Mean physical activity was significantly correlated with educational level (P=۰.۰۰۱), employment status (P=۰.۰۰۶) and perceived economic status (P = ۰.۰۰۳). There was also a direct significant correlation between physical activity with weight (r=۰.۱۰۲, P=۰.۰۳۱) and life satisfaction (r=۰.۱۲۰,P=۰.۰۱۱). Also, knowledge (P=۰.۰۰۱) and attitude (P = ۰.۰۰۱) significantly predicted the level of physical activity.
