An updated synthesis of environmental factors influencing mobility and social participation in older adults: results from a scoping review

Mobility and social participation of older adults are highly related and often influenced by the same attributes. Results suggest potential interventions, such as creating supportive environments that enable people to continue doing what matters to them. Despite a rigorous process, relevant studies might have been overlooked, and time constraint limited both the scope of this study and inclusion of knowledge-users. Further research should consider a wider range of settings and focus on underexplored attributes to better promote mobility and social participation among older adults.
