The prevalence of person-perceived participation restriction in community-dwelling older adults

Abstract

Some restriction of participation 'as and when we want it' is common in the general population and increases with age, although severe restriction only affects a minority. The distribution of person-perceived participation restriction is similar to that of impairments and activity limitation in community-dwelling older adults.

Accomplishment level and satisfaction with social participation of older adults: association with quality of life and best correlates

“…In agreement with many studies [2,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], younger age and the absence of recent stressing events contributed to best explain a higher accomplishment level of social participation, while better self-perceived health best explained greater satisfaction with social participation. Stressing events can impede social participation.…”

“…Moreover, to our knowledge, no study aimed at identifying the correlates of satisfaction with social participation. Correlates of accomplishment level of social participation identified in the literature [2,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] are personal factors such as gender, age, and education; health status and impairment (including disease category, comorbidity, self-perceived health, and wellbeing); level of activity; and physical and social environment. With the same participants, identifying the variables that best explain accomplishment level and satisfaction with social participation can help to better understand the specificity of these two concepts.…”

Effects of a Multicomponent Home-Based Physical Rehabilitation Program on Mobility Recovery After Hip Fracture: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Changes in the prerequisites of mobility resulting from ageing or diseases (like a hip fracture), can lead to mobility restrictions, limitations and further mobility disability . In particular, restricting the participation of communitydwelling people in activities outside the home due to the inability to move independently can further lead to becoming a homebound (Wilkie et al 2006).…”

Changes in life-space mobility and quality of life among community-dwelling older people: a 2-year follow-up study

“…The most common restrictions on participation of older people involve mobility outside the home [9]. Going outdoors is essential for the ability to continue valued activities outside the home, as well as for a sense of freedom and independence in old age [10].…”
