ABSTRACT: This study analyzed the characteristics of health
and physical fitness of 60 - 70 years old people with age. A total of 1253
elderly people (65.4 ± 3.2) years old were screened by questionnaire and
divided into 60 - 64 years old group, 65 - 69 years old group and over 70 years
old group according to the age. The results showed that there was a significant
difference between the elderly with eyes closed and standing on one foot in
different age groups (P P > 0.05). The sitting body flexion index did not change with the increase of
age. Compared with the group over 70 years old, the change rates of lung
capacity and standing on one foot with eyes closed were the largest in the 65 - 69 years old group. It can be seen that the health and physical fitness
level of the elderly over 60 years old increases with age and presents a
downward trend.
