Who is studied
Active Older Adults is offered in Miami-Dade County (MDC), FL where 40.9% of people older than 65 are sedentary (did not participate in any leisure-time activities, physical activities other than their regular job, during the past month). Within MDC, age-adjusted death rates per 100,000 population (2020-2022) from cardiovascular disease were higher for both Black (291.8.7 vs. 263.4) and Hispanic (179.2 vs. 171.2) residents of MDC vs. statewide, respectively, compared with White (186.2 vs. 198.7) residents. This disparity is particularly relevant for MDC where 69% of people identify as Hispanic or Latino and 17% identify as Black, as opposed to about 19% and 14%, respectively in the United States and 27% and 17% respectively in Florida.
