Examining the Association between Life-Space Mobility and Cognitive Function in Older Adults: A Systematic Review

Table 3

Cognitive results based on life-space categorizations.

Scores	Life-space category: restricted to house and household vicinity			Life-space category: neighbourhood level	Life-space category: out of town
	Modified LSQ < 1	LSA ≤ 40	LSA ≤ 52.3	LSA 41–60	LSA ≥ 61
Results	Older adults in this category were at a higher risk of developing MCI compared to individuals who travel beyond the town (HR = 1.17 (95% CI 1.06 to 1.28)) [43]	Older adults in this category had a higher rate of cognitive decline over 5 years (β = 0.56, ) compared to people who visited the neighbourhood and beyond (LSA ≥ 41) [50]	Older adults in this category had lower cognitive function than those with higher scores (LSA > 52.3) () [47]	Older adults in this category had lower rate of global cognitive decline (β = 0.85, ) over 5 years compared to those who were constricted to their home (LSA ≤ 40) [50]	Older adults in this category had lowest rate of global cognitive decline over 5 years (β = 1.03, ) compared to those with neighbourhood life space (LSA 41–60) [50]
	Older adults in this category were at a higher risk of developing AD compared to individuals who travel beyond the town (HR = 1.21 (95% CI 1.08 to 1.36)) [43]
