June 6, 2023 updated by: Sara StGeorge, University of Miami
This study develops a multigenerational electronic Health (eHealth) (web and mobile phone-based) program to improve physical activity levels and to better understand the relationship between grandparents and their grandchildren. The importance of social and familial support for older adults and the need to address increasing declines in physical activity for both children and older adults. Health promotion interventions that capitalize on the existing relationship between grandparents and grandchildren may simultaneously improve health-related outcomes for older adults and children.
