The group walking lasted eight weeks. 70 young–old women with medical records in Sari-Iran health centers were selected by a multi-stage sampling. They obtained score of 15 or more from SPA Scale (SPAS), a score of 20 or more from Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26). The group walking lasted eight weeks. To compare differences in EDs and SPA at post-test, analysis of Covariance was used. The results showed significant differences in the mean score of SPA ( P  = 0.01), EDs ( P  < 0.001), and EDs subscales between the groups. The GWP can be used as an easy and affordable solution to reduce SPA and EDs in the aged women.
