According to the statement, as many as 75 percent of elderly men and 80 percent of elderly women are not active enough, which means they are not getting enough exercise. The other options are incorrect as "taking it easy" is not always the best treatment for chronic diseases, only 30 percent of U.S. elders participate in regular exercise, and physically active seniors are not necessarily at high risk for injury.
