The trajectory of functional status among older adults with chronic diseases and the association with social relationships
Differences were found in the functional trajectories of older adults with chronic disease over time. Older adults with more extensive social relationships appeared less likely to have a poorer functional trajectory. The findings suggest that fostering extensive social relationships could be an effective management strategy for functional decline deterioration.
