Research results: Half of the selected testing population have rated their overall health as average, and that it hasn't changed much in the past year. Elderly people have rated their overall quality of life to be just over average. After having compared mental health with that of physical health, mental health has been said to be slightly better overall however, both, physical and mental health have been rated to be above average. Ageing has a negative impact on physical activity due to not having as much energy as a typical young person, restricting them from certain activities, therefore leading to a reduced overall quality of life. Physical activity taking place during person's free time, as well as something simple such as housework, leads to an increased overall emotional state of a person. The overall person's health can be seen increasing after an increased physical activity at work, home and any other time a person can spare for some physical exercise
