Abstract
Increasing global elderly population burdens healthcare and families with
health issues and dependency. Many choose nursing homes for high-quality care, but this affects
physical mobility, leading to a sedentary lifestyle and reduced quality of life.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to find out the correlation of functional mobility with
quality of life in elderly individuals.
METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional survey was conducted at various old homes in Lahore in
which 260 older adults were recruited by non-randomized sampling techniques. A quality-of-life
questionnaire, early mobility scale, and mini-mental scale were used to collect data. Data analysis
was done by SPSS-21.
