Study objectives	Physical activity counseling promotes physical activity, prevents mobility limitation and disability in older people.
Ethics approval(s)	Not provided at time of registration.
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Mobility limitation
Intervention	The intervention comprised a physical activity counseling session together with a physiotherapist followed by regular phone contacts four times a year throughout the two-year intervention. We promoted use of existing exercise services available for older people which are available for the participants also after finishing the project. The control group received no intervention. Physical activity, health and mobility were followed-up in three biannual telephone interviews in both the intervention and control group throughout the intervention. The follow-up interviews and physical assessments corresponding to those of baseline were done two years after the baseline in 2005. After these two-year follow-up examinations physical activity level and mobility limitation will be followed-up in three telephone interviews six months apart to the end of 2006. Follow-up of service use will continue until the end of the year 2007 and follow-up of institutionalisation and mortality until the death of the participant or 20 years; the data will be collected from population registers.
