Optimal mobility, defined as relative ease and freedom of movement in all of its forms, is central to healthy aging. Mobility is a significant consideration for research, practice, and policy in aging and public health. We examined the public health burdens of mobility disability, with a particular focus on leading public health interventions to enhance walking and driving, and the challenges and opportunities for public health action. We propose an integrated mobility agenda, which draws on the lived experience of older adults. New strategies for research, practice, and policy are needed to move beyond categorical promotion programs in walking and driving to establish a comprehensive program to enhance safe mobility in all its forms.
最佳的移动能力,定义为在所有形式下相对轻松和自由的运动能力,是健康老龄化的核心。移动能力是老龄化和公共卫生研究、实践和政策的一个重要考虑因素。我们研究了移动能力障碍给公共健康带来的负担,特别关注增强行走和驾驶能力的主要公共卫生干预措施,以及公共卫生行动面临的挑战和机遇。我们提出了一个综合的移动议程,该议程借鉴了老年人的生活经验。需要制定新的研究、实践和政策战略,超越行走和驾驶方面的分类推广计划,建立一个全面的计划,以提高所有形式的安全移动能力。
