| Description | Preferences of Active Lifestyle in the Context of Age, Economic, Social and Cultural Capital. Activity is currently an integral part of the ageing concepts and is becoming more of a normative pressure to select and perform "appropriate" activities in old age. Therefore, the paper focuses on the determinants of the active lifestyle and their change with age. It confirms the influence of age and health on the inclination towards a more passive way of life and the limitation of the number of activities with age. However, there is also a strong conditionality by cultural, economic and social capital. People with higher levels of capitals have a more pro-active lifestyle and fulfil a wider range of activities. There is also a certain tension between the preference of active lifestyle in old age and the lower level of actual fulfilment in older age. |
