Abstract

With the rapid increases of older population and growing demand for longevity worldwide, frailty has become a major hurdle to sustaining healthy aging. As residential areas are the primary domains of mobility for older adults, the neighborhood environment is a crucial factor for their daily living and physical activity. This study aims to investigate whether replacing sedentary behavior with physical activity and having a supportive neighborhood environment are associated with frailty status in older adults.
