Influencing factors and intervention of activity limitation and disability in hospitalized older adults / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Hospitalization is associated with disability.The physical activity of the elderly during hospitalization is significantly lower than that during non-hospitalization.Low-level physical activity not only affects the rehabilitation of the disease during hospitalization, forming hospital-related disability, but also increases the readmission rate and long-term care needs, seriously affecting older adults' quality of life.This article reviews the influencing factors and intervention measures of physical activity in hospitalized elderly patients, aiming to provide a reference for clinical practice.
