Research Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the risk of functional disability associated with factors of social relations in community-dwelling older adults in Japan. The study suggested that high status of social role was associated with a moderately lower risk of functional disability in older adults. No emotional social support except for family members of living together was associated with a risk of functional disability in elderly people living with their spouse only. We need an assessment that takes social relations into consideration to appropriately identify the risks related to functional disability.
