Daily moderate-intensity physical activities and optimism promote healthy ageing in rural northern Sweden: a cross-sectional study.
The aim of our study was to explore the association between self-reported health factors and self-rated health (SRH) among an older rural population in northern Sweden and whether confounders optimistic outlook or daily moderate-intensity physical activity could moderate the association between self...
