Comparative Analysis of Differences in Functional Ability Among Older People Between Urban and Rural Areas: A Cross-sectional Study From China
A higher proportion of older people in rural areas have limited functional ability than those in urban areas. Moreover, the disparity in social participation levels significantly contributed to the differences in functional ability observed between older adults in urban and rural settings. This study underscores the significance of enhancing the social engagement of older adults, particularly those living in rural communities.
