Among this growing cohort, women face compound challenges, including higher vulnerability to chronic diseases and socio-economic disparities. This article explores exercise as a cost-effective strategy to promote healthy aging among Indian women, emphasizing its role in mitigating age-related health risks, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing quality of life. Aging brings multifaceted physiological, psychological, and social challenges, from muscle loss and osteoporosis to cognitive decline and social isolation. Evidence suggests that regular physical activity, such as aerobic, strength, flexibility, and balance exercises, significantly improves cardiovascular health, muscle strength, and mental well-being. Notably, resistance training has shown to enhance upper and lower body strength, reduce depression, and improve overall quality of life in adults aged 60 and above. Moreover, group-based exercises, including yoga and Pilates, and multicomponent exercise foster social engagement, combating isolation. Despite these benefits, barriers such as economic constraints, cultural norms, and inadequate access to safe exercise environments hinder participation, particularly among rural and low-income women. To overcome these challenges, community-based exercise programs tailored to older adults are recommended. Incorporating physical activity into national public health strategies will not only extend lifespan but improve healthspan—ensuring that more years are spent in good health. By promoting exercise as a preventive, affordable intervention, India can support the physical and psychological well-being of its aging female population, fostering healthier, more independent lives and graceful, healthy aging.</p> Tuhin Das Nita Bandyopadhyay ##submission.copyrightStatement## http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2024-07-31 2024-07-31 6 2 1 9 10.7575/ijahm.v6i2.118 http://ijahm.com/index.php/IJAHM/article/view/121 <p><strong>Background:</strong> Insomnia is one of the sleep needs disorders that occur among students. <strong>Objective:</strong> This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep hygiene and insomnia in students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Semarang. <strong>Methods:</strong> This study used an analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach.

A total of 32 respondents showed that the level of sleep hygiene was 18.8% moderate and the level of sleep hygiene was 81.3% good. The results showed that sleep hygiene had a mean value of 24.47 with a minimum value of 16 and a maximum value of 35. The analysis used the Spearman rank test with a p-value = 0.001 (&lt;0.05). Based on the analysis using the Spearman rank test, a significant relationship exists between sleep hygiene and insomnia in S1 Nursing Science students at Muhammadiyah University Semarang with a P-value of 0.001. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is a significant relationship between sleep hygiene and insomnia in undergraduate nursing students. Sleep hygiene is needed to improve sleep quality in students.
