Prevalence and correlates of restricted community mobility in a population-based cohort of adults with systemic lupus erythematosus.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Restrictions in community mobility, defined as the frequency of and help required to travel to 'life-spaces' (bedroom, home, yard, neighbourhood and town), are associated with poor outcomes among older adults. We aimed to describe and explore factors associated with community mobility among adults with SLE.

Methods

We assessed community mobility cross-sectionally in a population-based SLE cohort (October 2019 to May 2022), using the University of Alabama Birmingham Study of Aging Life-Space Assessment (UAB LSA) (score range, 0-120; higher scores=greater community mobility). Community mobility was considered to be restricted if the individual reported not reaching the neighbourhood life-space or beyond at least weekly and without help. Estimated percentages (95% CIs
