Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of physical performance levels of elderly living in rural and urban areas on social participation, social functioning, and quality of life.

Method: A total of 418 volunteer elderly aged 65 and over living in rural (42.3%) and urban (57.7%) areas participated in this study. The Mini-Mental State Examination, Short Physical Performance Battery, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale for Older Adults, Leisure Time subscale of the Social Functioning Scale and the Community Integration Questionnaire were applied to participants.

elderly people living in rural areas

Short Physical Performance Battery

Intervention Type OTHER

The SPPB was applied to determine the physical performance levels of the elderly. This test is a valid and reliable test that measures the performance of the lower extremities and can be applied for elderly. The SPPB included three sections: getting up from a chair, standing balance, and walking speed. At the end of these tests, the scores of the three sections were calculated and higher scores were evaluated as reflecting higher levels of physical performance
