Individual and environmental factors underlying life space of older people–study protocol and design of a cohort study on life-space mobility in old age (LISPE)
Background A crucial issue for the sustainability of societies is how to maintain health and
functioning in older people. With increasing age, losses in vision, hearing, balance, mobility …
