Health care in the ageing population is becoming a crucial issue, due to the quality of life. Physical activity, is of primary importance for older adults. This report compared the physical activity in two active older adults population with functionality, quality of life, and depression symp-toms. A cross-sectional study was developed with 64 older adults. Physical activity was assessed through the Yale Physical Activity Sur-vey for classification into a less activity (LA) group and a more activity (MA) group. Afterwards, the other health variables were measured through specific questionnaires: the quality of life with the EuroQol (Eu-roQol five dimensions questionnaire, EQ-5D), functionality with the Berg balance scale (BBS) and depression symptoms with the geriatric de-pression scale (GDS). There is a statistical significant difference be-tween groups for the BBS (t=2.21; P=0.03, d=0.27). The Pearson cor-relation analysis shows in LA group a moderate correlation between the BBS and age (r=-0.539; P<0.01) and EQ-5D (r=0.480; P<0.01). Moreover, both groups had a moderate negative correlation between GDS and the the EQ-5D time trade-off (r=-0.543; P=0.02). Active older adults with different amounts of physical activity differ in the BBS. This functional score was higher in the MA group. When observing to quali-ty of life, only the LA group was negatively associated with age while in both groups were associated with depression index.
