Preferred term

mobility and health  

Definition

  • In older adults, mobility and health are intrinsically linked in a reciprocal fashion, such that mobility has an effect on health, and in turn, one's health status has an effect on mobility. Mobility is one of the most highly ranked issues facing older adults because of its tremendous impact on independence. [Source: Encyclopedia of Lifestyle Medicine & Health; Mobility and Health]
