LIFE-SPACE MOBILITY IN THE CANADIAN LONGITUDINAL STUDY ON AGING: A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Abstract Factors that may hinder or support the independent life-space mobility of older adults are complex and multi-factorial. However, existing studies have focused on a narrow group of factors that are often discipline specific (i.e. biomechanics, biological, etc.). A multi-disciplinary and comprehensive assessment of life-space mobility is needed to optimize opportunities for healthy aging and prevent mobility decline in older adults. As …
