Conditions
Summary
Although empirical research suggests that physical activity interventions benefit cognition and sleep in older adults in general, the possible benefit of physical activity is understudied in low-income older adults. The study aims to test the immediate and sustaining efficacy of an mHealth-facilitated Physical Activity Toward Health (mPATH) intervention on cognitive function and sleep in low-income older adults.

Interventions
The active mPATH intervention takes 6 months including (1) The physical activity education session , (2)mHealth learning and practice; (3)Personalized physical activity training, plan, and biweekly phone calls over 24 weeks (4) mHealth strategies to encourage physical activity and facilitate intervention adherence (5) (5) mPATH during 6-12 months: mPATH will be delivered mainly in 24 weeks before the 6-month data collection. During 6-12 months, the participants will have access to study mHealth strategies, and exercise videos. No additional physical activity training by staff will be supported.
A registered nurse from the study team will provide 6 monthly home visit (approximately 55-60 minutes each) to provide physical activity education, physical activity safety at home evaluation, feedback, and social activity (meaningful or enjoyable activities as identified by the participants, such as playing cards, doing arts and crafts, listening to music, talking about life history, etc.).
