Abstract
Using the data from the survey of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study in 2011,The World Health Organization Guide of Moderate-Vigorous Physical Activity（ WHO-MVPA） were measured on the elders in urban area of China. The individual characteristics are still the main factors of older adults of WHO-MVPA. However,environmental factors in urban community can still explain the 28. 73% of the variances of MVPA of the elders. In fact,the age,self-rated health status,walking abilities,and fitness expenditure plays the dominant roles,while in the community level,tidiness of roads also statistically associated for the elders to meet WHO-MVPA. Hence,focusing on the promotion of the active life style,and building a health intervention system,will improve the elder’s health in urban China,including construction of the elderfriendly community environment to promote physical activities participating of them.
