PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the relationship between mobility constraints and social participation among the elderly in India.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess social participation (N = 912). Social participation was measured using a participation scale, and mobility limitations were measured using 4 meter walk test, Fall Efficacy Scale (FES I), community balance and mobility scale, and a questionnaire for assistive devices.
RESULTS: Mobility-related factors explained 28.4% of the variation in social participation (F [4, 907] = 91.331, P = 0.000). It was found that fear of falling; walking capacity, community balance and mobility, and using sticks/walker significantly affect social participation among the elderly.
CONCLUSION: Mobility limitations were significantly associated with reduced social participation. This demonstrates the need for interventions to improve accessibility and participation among older Indian adults at various levels.
