As the aging population continues to grow, they may live longer than the previous generation, but at what cost when it comes to their quality of life? This growing population of older adults' unfortunate are faced with increased morbidity, chronic illnesses, and multiple barriers that stop them from accessing and using facilities and programs that may increase their physical, mental, and social health behaviors. Researchers confirmed that barriers towards reducing morbidity and increasing physical health behavior of older adults exist; however, more research is warranted to explore ways to reduce multiple barriers aging adults experience. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore reasons morbidity continues to rise among the adult population 55 and older and to understand and work to resolve problems contributing to their reluctance to take part in recommended physical exercise activities. I applied the grounded theory, the extrinsic model of aging, and the health belief model as the framework guiding this study. The researcher used three focus group interviews, and the questions addressed the vailed barriers held by the aging adults about the rise in morbidity and the reduction in physical activity from their viewpoint. 21 older adults took part in the focus group interviews; interviews were recorded using an Olympus digital recorder and lasted 60 minutes. Data accuracy was crossed checked by member checking, it was manually coded through the constant comparative method, and the NVivo software as a backup of data analysis for emerging themes. The finding showed that older adults had similar views of how food grown in the past had fewer chemicals compared to foods grown today that are over-processed and contains multiple harmful chemicals. The consensus of the participants was to reduce barriers older adults face, more motivation and positive internal/ external supports are needed. Data from this study may assist healthcare professionals, activity specialist, and policymakers with building programs to improve older adults' wellness and quality of life.
