<![CDATA[Older adults undergo various physical changes that necessitate consistent efforts to sustain their health, which includes engaging in regular physical activity. Participation in these activities is influenced by multiple factors, one of which is self-regulation. This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-regulation and physical activity among older adults at the Ciptomulyo Health Center. The research employs an analytical method utilizing a cross-sectional design. A total of 374 respondents who met the study's selection criteria were recruited. The Physical Activity Self-Regulation Scale (PASR) and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) were utilized to evaluate the levels of self-regulation and physical activity, respectively. The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test. The majority of respondents were female (58.6%), with a significant proportion demonstrating high levels of self-regulation (74.6%) and satisfactory physical activity levels (61.5%). The results established a substantial correlation between self-regulation and physical activity (p = 0.000), suggesting that enhanced self-regulation is associated with increased physical activity. These findings underscore the importance of interventions designed to enhance self-regulation among older adults. By strengthening self-regulation, it is possible to mitigate inactivity and promote a healthier lifestyle. This insight provides a foundational basis for developing strategies that support older adults in maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle by enhancing their self-management skills.]]>
