Physical mobility and social participation are needed to maintain independence and quality of life for adults over 55 years of age. Despite the known benefits of physical activity and dietary change programs for older adults, the best ways to deliver these interventions are not well understood. The goal of the EMBOLDEN study is to promote physical and community mobility in older adults who experience difficulties taking up community programs and reside in areas of high health inequity. Building on existing best practices, the investigators will implement and evaluate an innovative co-designed community-based program to promote physical activity, healthy eating, social participation, and system navigation. The potential for spreading this program throughout Hamilton and adapted to other Canadian communities will also be explored

You may qualify if you...
Inclusion criteria:
• Community-dwelling older adults (55 years of age and older) living in a neighbourhood selected for the study.
Exclusion criteria:
As a pragmatic trial, we have chosen broad inclusion criteria to reflect the characteristics of individuals who may join a program such as this outside of a research study. Thus, we will not exclude individuals based on the presence of existing chronic disease, comorbidities, or other factors that may impact attendance.
You will not qualify if you...
History of severe allergic reactions to study medication Currently pregnant or breastfeeding Recent participation in another clinical trial within the last 30 days Presence of uncontrolled medical conditions that could affect safety
