OBJECTIVE: To profile participants based on reported outdoor physical activity barriers using a data-driven approach, describe the profiles and study their association with unmet physical activity need.
METHOD: Cross-sectional analyses of 848 community-dwelling men and women aged 75-90 living in Central Finland in 2012. Barriers to outdoor physical activity and unmet physical activity need were enquired with a questionnaire. The latent profiles were identified by profiling participants into latent groups using a mixture modeling technique on the multivariate set of indicators of outdoor physical activity barriers. A path model was used to study the associations of the profiles with unmet physical activity need.
RESULTS: Five barrier profiles were identified. Profile A was characterized with minor barriers, profile B with weather barriers, profile C with health and weather barriers, profile D with barriers concerning insecurity, health and weather; and profile E with mobility and health barriers. The participants in the profiles differed in the proportion of individual and environmental barriers. The risk for unmet physical activity need was highest among people whose severe mobility difficulties restricted their outdoor physical activity.
CONCLUSION: Outdoor physical activity barriers reflect the imbalance in person-environment fit among older people, manifested as unmet physical activity need.

Perceived barriers in the outdoor environment and development of walking difficulties in older people
Rantakokko, Merja; Iwarsson, Susanne; Mänty, Minna; Leinonen, Raija; Rantanen, Taina (Oxford University Press, 2012)SIR—Older people with mobility limitations often report more barriers in their outdoor environment than people with intact mobility [1]. However, it is uncertain whether older people perceive their environment as problematic ... -
Perceived environmental barriers to outdoor mobility and changes in sense of autonomy in participation outdoors among older people: a prospective two-year cohort study
Rantakokko, Merja; Portegijs, Erja; Viljanen, Anne; Iwarsson, Susanne; Kauppinen, Markku; Rantanen, Taina (Routledge, 2017)Objective: The aim was to study whether perceived environmental barriers to outdoor mobility affect changes in sense of autonomy in participation outdoors among community-dwelling older people over a two-year period. Methods: ... -
Older Adults' Physical Activity and the Relevance of Distances to Neighborhood Destinations and Barriers to Outdoor Mobility
Portegijs, Erja; Keskinen, Kirsi E.; Eronen, Johanna; Saajanaho, Milla; Rantakokko, Merja; Rantanen, Taina (Frontiers Media, 2020)Aim: To determine the relevance of features located close to home and further away, our aim was to study associations between older adults' physical activity and self-reported neighborhood destinations and barriers to ... -
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 ... -
Environmental facilitators for outdoor walking and development of walking difficulty in community-dwelling older adults
Eronen, Johanna; von Bonsdorff, Mikaela; Rantakokko, Merja; Rantanen, Taina (Springer, 2014)Older adults who report environmental barriers in their neighborhood have a higher risk for walking difficulty. However, environmental facilitators that protect against walking difficulty are not well known. The objective ...
