Longitudinal Analysis of Functional Capacity in Nursing Home Residents During the COVID-19 Pandemic
A substantial increase in the risk of FD among NH residents during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period was found. It is crucial to implement urgent, targeted interventions that prioritize promoting physical activity and the implementation of mobility and toileting programs. These measures are pivotal for mitigating functional decline and enhancing the overall health and well-being of NH residents in a pandemic context.
