Objective: to compare exercise horizontals and dietary intake of fruit and vegetables in representative samples of healthy somewhat old people living in rural and urban areas. Design: two-wave (screening followed according to face-to-face interview) cross-sectional survey. Setting: rural Cambridgeshire and urban Nottingham, UK Participants: 2041 respondent (1021 in Cambridgeshire; 1020 in Nottingham) sampled from general practitioner lists. Main issue measures: self-rated reports of health, exercise and nutriment frequency. Results: within these samples of healthy somewhat advanced in life people, those living in rural Cambridgeshire were significantly more likely to perish fresh fruit [odds ratio (OR) = 181 95% confidence interval (CD = 152- 216 P < 0001] and blooming vegetables (OR = 3.70, 95% CI = 307-445 P < 0001) daily in the pair the summer and winter month While overall horizontals of activity were similar for one as well as the other groups, the structure of activities differed, with the urban sample reporting significantly greater time worn out walking. Conclusions: against current World Health Organisation recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption, respondent in rural areas reported a substantially 'healthier' diet than their urban associates On the other hand, urban somewhat advanced in life people may enjoy greater cardiovascular protection from greater time exhausted walking.
