As the population ages, the number of older people living with multimorbidity (PwMs) increases. Despite its association with positive health outcomes, older PwMs often fail to engage in adequate physical activity (PA). The aims of this qualitative study were to explore how older PwMs engage in PA, and the facilitators of and barriers to their PA engagement.
