We examined the effect of social restrictions, implemented to reduce transmission of COVID-19 in the UK (lockdown), on physical activity (PA) levels of older adults, and the demographic, lifestyle and social predictors of this change.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design</jats:title><jats:p>Baseline analysis of a survey-based prospective cohort study</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting</jats:title><jats:p>Adults enrolled in the Cognitive Health in Ageing Register for Investigational and Observational Trials (CHARIOT) cohort from GP practices in North West London were invited to participate from April to July 2020.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants</jats:title><jats:p>6,219 cognitively healthy adults aged 50 to 92 years completed the survey.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Main outcome measures</jats:title><jats:p>Self-reported PA before and after lockdown, as measured by Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) minutes.

After adjustment for confounders and pre-lockdown PA, lower levels of PA after lockdown were found in those who were over 85 years old (640 [95% CI: 246 to 1034] MET minutes/week less); were divorced or single (240 [95% CI: 120 to 360] MET minutes/week less); living alone (277 [95
