Physical Activity and Performance Impact Long-term Quality of Life in Older Adults at Risk for Major Mobility Disability
Older adults are a rapidly growing segment of the U.S. population. Mobility problems that lead to further disability can be addressed through physical activity interventions. Quality of life outcome results are reported from a large trial of physical activity for sedentary older adults at risk for mobility disability.The Stanford Healthy Neighborhood Discovery Tool: A Computerized Tool to Assess Active Living Environments
The built environment can influence physical activity, particularly among older populations with impaired mobility. Existing tools to assess environmental features associated with walkability are often cumbersome, require extensive training, and are not readily available for use by community residents.
