RESULTS: The majority of participants were in maintenance stage. Mean and standard deviation physical activity for the elderly was 119.35±51.50. Stages of change and physical activities were significantly associated with decisional balance and self-efficacy (p<0.0001); however, cons had a significant and reverse association. According to linear and ordinal regression the only predicator variable of physical activity behavior was self-efficacy. CONCLUSION: By increase in pros and self-efficacy on doing physical activity, it can be benefited in designing appropriate intervention programs
