REACT Results

Chief Investigator and Active Ageing Research Director Professor Afroditi Stathi talk’s through the fantastic results of the REACT study.

Mobility.

People that took part in the REACT intervention reported better mobility through the study. This most importantly included the final assessment which took place 24 months after the programme had started, 12 months after REACT sessions had finished. Within this 12 month period participants had been encouraged to seek self-led activities.

Cost effective.

Not only did the REACT intervention deliver enhanced mobility, it also proved to be cost effective means of delivering such health benefits. The average reduction in health care costs was £725 per person. It all begins with an idea. Thanks to the impact of increased activity amongst REACT participants, more cost savings are predicted in the long term.
