Abstract Background:The global aging population is on the rise due to increased life expectancy and various influencing factors. As a result, their health outcomes have become a significant concern. This study aims to evaluate mobility limitations and their impact on health outcomes among older adults living in the Choolai community .Objectives :The primary objectives of this study are to:Assess the level of mobility limitations and health outcomes among older individuals.Examine the correlation between mobility limitations and health outcomes.Identify associations between demographic variables and mobility limitations.Materials And Methods: A quantitative, descriptive study was conducted using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. A total of 60 older adults were selected from Choolai. Mobility limitations were assessed using the Elderly Mobility Scale, and health outcomes were measured using the RAND 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).RESULTSThe majority of older adults had borderline mobility limitations. None of the participants had high health outcome scores, with most falling within the moderate range. A significant positive correlation was observed between mobility limitations and health outcomes (r = 0.37, p = 0.01), indicating that as mobility scores increased, health outcome scores also improved. Individuals with higher mobility scores exhibited greater independence in daily activities, which in turn led to better health outcomes .Conclusion:The study concludes that mobility limitations are significantly associated with health outcomes among older adults. Furthermore, the positive correlation between mobility and health outcomes suggests that improved mobility contributes to better overall well-being.
