ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#Life-space mobility is reflected in comprehensive longevity and health outcomes and is also an important indicator for preventing mortality and decline in well-being among older people. However, a comprehensive framework of life-space mobility and modifiable individual and environmental factors has not been well validated among community-dwelling independent older people, for primary prevention. We examined individual and environmental factors affecting life-space mobility among community-dwelling independent older people.@*METHODS@#This cross-sectional study included 3500 community-dwelling independent older people randomly selected using the National Basic Resident Registration System in Japan. Life-space mobility was measured using the Japanese version of the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) instrument, which is used to assess an individual's pattern of mobility. Negative multivariate binomial regression analysis was performed in a final sample of 1258 people. Individual factors (including physical, mental, and social characteristics) and environmental factors (including the social and material environment) were measured and analyzed as potential factors.@*RESULTS@#Negative multivariable binomial regression analysis, adjusted for demographics, showed that LSA score was associated with locomotive syndrome (β = - 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] = - 0.24 to - 0.73), depression (β = - 0.29, 95% CI = - 0.03 to - 0.55), health literacy (β = 0.20, 95% CI = 0.39-0.01), and participation in community activities (β = 0.23, 95% CI = 0.03-0.43) among individual factors, and receipt of social support (β = - 0.19, 95% CI = 0.00 to - 0.38) and social network (β = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.48-0.10) among environmental factors.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Our findings suggest that modifiable individual factors and environmental factors are related to life-space mobility among community-dwelling older people.
