Act Now, Age Better – Age UK Research 2025

Age UK’s latest research reveals that 10 million midlifers (aged 50–65) are worried about staying healthy as they age, with over half underestimating recommended activity levels. The report launches the “Act Now, Age Better” campaign, urging small lifestyle changes, like regular movement and strength-building exercises to support healthier, more independent later lives. Backed by public figures and health experts, the findings spotlight both the barriers and opportunities for midlife wellbeing, aiming to shift national attitudes toward ageing.
