Association Between Physical Performance and Sense of Autonomy in Outdoor Activities and Life‐Space Mobility in Community‐Dwelling Older People

Abstract: Objectives To study the relationship between physical performance and sense of autonomy in outdoor activities with life‐space mobility—the spatial area a person purposefully moves through in daily life—in community‐dwelling older people. Design Cross‐sectional analyses of baseline data of the Life‐Space Mobility in Old Age cohort study. Setting Structured interviews in participants' homes. Participants Community‐dwelling people aged 75 to 90 (N = 848). Measurements Sense of autonomy outdoors (Impact on Partici… Show more

“…Life-space mobility is strongly associated with functional ability [6,8], but it also reflects interest in moving around and participating in social networks [4]. As goals may indicate an orientation toward the future, the current results are in line with those of a previous study indicating that older people who orient more to the future have larger lifespace than those who focus mostly on the present day [4].…”

“…Number of chronic diseases was calculated based on physician-diagnosed conditions, self-reported from a list of 22 chronic conditions, including e.g., coronary artery disease, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease or other dementia, depression, visual impairment, and hearing loss. Diagnoses not included in the list were prompted with an additional open question [8].…”

“…Lifespace mobility then reflects the decreasing number of journeys which may be due to an increasing number of mobility difficulties (Allman, Sawyer & Roseman 2006). Restricted life-space can be a sign of reduced resources, as shown in a study which demonstrated its association with poor physical performance and a limited sense of autonomy (Portegijs et al 2014b). Small life-space is associated with a higher risk for nursing home admission and frailty (Sheppard et al 2013).…”

“…Lower SPPB scores have been associated with lower SES (Coppin et al 2006), and good balance and walking speed with higher SES (Welmer et al 2013). In addition, an association between low SPPB scores and lower life-space mobility has been established (Peel et al 2005, Portegijs et al 2014b. A relationship between SES and cognitive functioning has also been confirmed in that higher education protected from mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (Sattler et al 2012) whereas low SES was associated with increased risk for cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (Atti et al 2010, Karp et al 2004).…”
