Objectives.
To study the relationship between physical performance and sense of autonomy in outdoor activities with life-space mobility—the spatial area a person purposefully moves through in daily life—in community-dwelling older people.
Design.
Cross-sectional analyses of baseline data of the Life-Space Mobility in Old Age cohort study.
Setting.
Structured interviews in participants' homes.
Participants.
Community-dwelling people aged 75 to 90 (N = 848).
Measurements.
Sense of autonomy outdoors (Impact on Participation and Autonomy questionnaire subscale), life-space mobility (Life-Space Assessment; University of Alabama, Birmingham Study of Aging), and Short Physical Performance Battery.
Results.
The median score for life-space mobility was 64.0. In linear regression models, poorer physical performance and more-limited sense of autonomy were independently associated with more restrictions in life-space mobility, explaining approximately one-third of the variation in life-space mobility. Physical performance also had an indirect effect on life-space mobility through sense of autonomy outdoors. Subgroup analyses of 5-year age groups and sex revealed that the associations were somewhat stronger in women and the oldest age group.
Conclusion.
Physical performance and sense of autonomy in outdoor activities explained a substantial portion of the variation in life-space mobility in healthy older people, indicating that physical and psychosocial factors play a role in maintaining mobility in old age.

Association Between Free-Living Sit-to-Stand Transition Characteristics, and Lower-Extremity Performance, Fear of Falling, and Stair Negotiation Difficulties Among Community-Dwelling 75 to 85-Year-Old Adults
Löppönen, Antti; Karavirta, Laura; Koivunen, Kaisa; Portegijs, Erja; Rantanen, Taina; Finni, Taija; Delecluse, Christophe; Van Roie, Evelien; Rantalainen, Timo (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2022)Background Good sit-to-stand (STS) performance is an important factor in maintaining functional independence. This study investigated whether free-living STS transition volume and intensity, assessed by a thigh-worn ... -
Longitudinal changes in life-space mobility and autonomy in participation outdoors among Finnish community-dwelling older adults from pre-COVID-19 to through the pandemic
Lindeman, Katja; Karavirta, Laura; Koivunen, Kaisa; Keskinen, Kirsi E.; Eronen, Johanna; Portegijs, Erja; Rantanen, Taina (Springer, 2024)Background Among older people, community mobility was reduced at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the longer-term changes are unclear. Aims To study lower extremity performance and car driving as predictors ... -
