No Doctor-Patient Relationship
Reading the Guide or visiting olderwell.xyz does not create a doctor-patient relationship between you and us. We are not licensed medical professionals. The Guide is general educational content for adults 60 and older.
Individual Results Vary
Results from following the Guide vary by individual. Factors include age, fitness level, medical history, consistency of practice, and many others. We make no guarantees about specific health outcomes such as weight loss, pain reduction, fall prevention, improved sleep, or longevity.
Statistical Claims and Sources
Statistics referenced on olderwell.xyz and inside the Guide — such as "150 minutes per week of activity," "40% lower fall risk," and "+5 years of healthy life" — are drawn from public health guidance issued by:
- World Health Organization (WHO) — Physical activity fact sheet and the WHO 2020 guidelines on physical activity and sedentary behaviour (recommends 150–300 minutes/week of moderate activity for adults 65+).
- US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — Physical activity guidelines for older adults and the CDC STEADI program on older adult fall prevention.
- National Institute on Aging (NIA) — Exercise and physical activity for older adults.
- Peer-reviewed research on physical activity and longevity, including: Reimers CD et al., "Does Physical Activity Increase Life Expectancy?" Journal of Aging Research (2012); and Sherrington C et al., "Exercise for preventing falls in older people living in the community," Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (2019).
These figures describe population-level findings. They do not predict outcomes for any specific individual.
