Association between eating alone and motor function among community-dwelling older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study
Eating alone was independently associated with low motor function in community-dwelling older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. We proposed providing opportunities to eat together as a highly feasible intervention measure to reduce motor function decline in community-dwelling older adults.
