Abstract

UNLABELLED: Community mobility, encompassing both active (e.g., walking) and passive (e.g., driving) transport, plays a crucial role in maintaining autonomy and social interaction among older adults. This study aimed to quantify community mobility in older adults and explore the relationship between GPS- and accelerometer-derived metrics and fall risk.
