Transformative Demographic Shifts
The number of older adults are growing faster than any other age groupBy 2015, there will be more people over age 65 than those aged 15 or younger
By 2030, 20% of the U.S. population will be 65 years of age or older
Adults age 65 or older are twice as likely to be living in poverty as they were a decade ago

Mobility
Optimal mobility* is defined “as being able to safely and reliably go where you want to go, when you want to go, and how you want to reach your designation, and is key a component of healthy aging.”
* Modified from the CDC-HAN Mobility Workgroup and Satariano et al. (2012) AJPH

Concept Mapping Applied to Mobility
Engages stakeholders
Applies multi-dimensional scaling and cluster analysis
Creates visual maps of relationships among ideas
Provides a foundation for prioritizing action items
![Page 12: “Integrating Efforts to Support Livable Communities Across the Lifespan”](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150c7550346895dbee8ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Steps in Concept Mapping
Planning: Develop a focused question and identify participants
Idea Generation: Experts and interested community members invited to respond to focused question
Data Collection: Participants sort and rate the results of the idea generation
Analysis: Creates visual maps of relationships among ideas
Interpretation and Use: Develop conceptual framework and identify priorities

Independence and EngagementIdentify one or more communities to serve as environmental models or as examples of mobility-sensitive or friendly communities.
Engage community volunteers in conducting walkability audits. Actively encourage recognition of and planning for older adults to continue to be active in the years when mobility will be limited.
Make available a variety of evidence-based physical activity and fall prevention/education programs, both in-home and in community based settings, that can be scaled for different locales or communities.
Identify and support physical activity programs that can accommodate people aging with disabilities.
Support the use of programs for exercise to maintain strength and improve balance.
Encourage the use of available health self-management tools, like online, buddy systems, in person support and information, group support and so on.
Identify and promote critical programs related to driving and older adults, including persons with cognitive and physical limitations.
Encourage ways to promote intergenerational physical activity and connection to family, friends and community to provide social supports.
Encourage shops or large retail or entertainment locations to provide and support mobility options for their customers.
Repurpose locations like community centers so they can better serve the needs of adults and persons with disabilities.

Coordinated ActionInclude mobility and older adults in coordinated chronic disease prevention and health promotion state plans.
Engage older adults, though interactive participatory methods, in voicing their strengths and priorities in promoting mobility. Implement a certification process for age-friendly communities.
Partner with state coalitions on fall prevention to identify community safety activities that may be useful for local communities.
Encourage states to develop, implement and evaluate their own physical activity plans modeled after the National Physical Activity Plan.
Public awareness campaigns about the benefit of physical activity for older adults that include a call to participation and action for older adults.
Identify and support a guide for smaller towns that want to adopt a bike/ped master plan for their town.
Work with schools and others to seek opportunities for intergenerational connections, like reciprocal tutoring and volunteering.
Develop a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to healthy aging, coordinated across agencies, through information and assistance and care coordination.
Encourage states to develop, implement and evaluate their own fall prevention plans modeled after the National Fall Prevention Plan.

Arthritis, Disability & Fall Prevention
Most states reviewed also address mobility issues through arthritis, disability, and/or fall prevention programs
Primarily address personal mobility such as activity limitations (e.g., trouble walking, climbing stairs, activities of daily living)
Kansas Arthritis Program promotes changes to the built environment to facilitate physical and social activity among people with arthritis; disability program promotes community improvement of non-automobile travel systems (e.g., sidewalks, curb cuts, etc.) for people with disabilities
![Page 38: “Integrating Efforts to Support Livable Communities Across the Lifespan”](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150c7550346895dbee8ea/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Surveillance/Data Collection
BRFSS data on activity limitations (e.g., trouble walking short distance, climbing stairs) among people with arthritis or disabilities
Fall injury and mortality data among older adults
Percent of older adults who engage in recommended amounts of physical activity
Michigan - limited data on the use of local trails and parks among older adults (collected through an evaluation of their Building Healthy Communities program)
In development - policy, environmental and built environment indicators promoting mobility
