Associations of external environment with life-space mobility among community-dwelling older adults: the potential mediating role of intrinsic capacity.
Abstract
Community-dwelling older adults residing in non-age-friendly external environments face a higher risk of restricted life-space mobility. Although improving the external environment may help mitigate this risk, environmental interventions are often complex, challenging to implement, and demonstrate limited effectiveness. Enhancing intrinsic capacity, however, may offer a novel approach to addressing the risk of restricted life-space mobility in older adults.

Research summary
The paper claims that enhancing intrinsic capacity may mitigate the risk of restricted life-space mobility in older adults living in non-age-friendly environments. This research addresses factors that can influence the quality of life and mobility in aging populations, which are critical aspects of longevity and healthy aging.
