Mobility enables engagement in out-of-home activities and thus is important for the well-being of older adults. Walking difficulty may limit mobility, and low physical activity is one risk factor for walking difficulty. Environmental features close to home may hinder or encourage physical activity in older adults. This study aimed to contribute knowledge on features of the physical environment that support the physical functioning and physical activity (PA) of older adults, and to investigate whether the associations between environmental features and PA may differ by perceived walking difficulty, type of residential neighbourhood, and day of the week. The data were collected as part of the Life- Space Mobility in Older People (n=848) proje...
