May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month! ODPHP invites you to celebrate Moving in May by encouraging activity in your community. Use our partner promotion toolkit and Move Your Way® Community Resources to get started.

As the days shorten, cooler weather takes hold, and the urge to retreat indoors to the comfort of home grows, it is the perfect time to remind ourselves of the importance of social connection for older adults, renew support for more engagement in our communities, and make healthy aging a reality for all who live there.

Healthy People 2030 sets measurable national objectives with 10-year targets to improve the health and well-being of all people. Twenty of those objectives are specifically focused on reducing health problems and improving quality of life for older adults. Healthy People 2030’s population data make it easy to see how older adults’ health compares to national targets.
