OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between life-space mobility and different dimensions of @entity308 among older community-dwelling @entity1 . METHODS: Cross-sectional analyses of baseline data of the 'Life-Space Mobility in Old Age' cohort study were carried out. The @entity1 were community-dwelling @entity1 and @entity1 aged 75-90  years (N = 848). Data were gathered via structured interviews in @entity1 ' home. Life-space mobility (the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Life-Space Assessment - questionnaire) and @entity308 (Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, CES-D) were assessed. Other factors examined included sociodemographic factors, difficulties walking 500  m, number of @entity102 and the sense of autonomy in participation outdoors (subscale of Impact on Participation and Autonomy questionnaire). RESULTS: Poorer life-space mobility was associated with higher prevalence of different dimensions of @entity308 . The associations were partially mediated through walking difficulties, health and the sense of autonomy in participation outdoor activities. CONCLUSION: Poorer life-space mobility interrelates with higher probability for @entity308 , thus compromising older adults' mental wellbeing. A focus on older adults' life-space mobility may assist early identification of @entity1 , who have elevated risk for @entity308 . The association between life-space mobility and @entity308 should be studied further utilizing longitudinal study designs to examine temporality and potential causality.
