  Background and purpose: Aging is associated with a significant reduction in biological, physiological and functional capacity. The aim of the present research was to investigate the relationship between physical activity level and physical performance indicators in the community-dwelling elderly people. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 431 community-dwelling older adults (>60) voluntarily were recruited from the Tehran (Iran). General and demographic features, physical activity levels, and physical performance factors were measured and recorded by demographic, PASE questionnaires, and physical function tests. Results: Age was significantly correlated with mobility, balance, speed, and lower body power (p<0.00). Also, there was a significantly positive correlation between balance (r=0.219, p<0.01), m..
