Abstract

Life-space mobility (LSM) in older adults is influenced by physical, cognitive, and psychological states. However, the relationship between LSM and personality traits remains unclear. Thus, our cross-sectional study investigated this correlation, which included 144 participants aged ≥60 years. LSM was assessed using the life-space assessment (LSA), and personality traits were evaluated using the Japanese version of the Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI-J). Physical data were also collected. Univariate analyses revealed that among young-older adults, extroversion in the TIPI-J showed a significant association with LSA scores in addition to handgrip strength. Among old-older adults, openness to experience in the TIPI-J demonstrated a significant association with LSA scores in addition to quadriceps strength. This study revealed correlations between personality traits (extroversion and openness to experience) and LSM, in addition to physical function. Considering older adults' personality traits is crucial for designing support and interventions to maintain and expand LSM.

居住在社区的老年人的生活空间流动性与人格特质有关。

老年人的生命空间移动性（LSM）受身体、认知和心理状态的影响。然而，生命空间移动性与人格特质之间的关系仍不清楚。因此，我们的横断面研究对这种相关性进行了调查，共纳入了 144 名年龄≥60 岁的参与者。研究使用生活空间评估（LSA）对生活空间管理进行评估，并使用日文版十项人格量表（TIPI-J）对人格特质进行评估。此外，还收集了身体数据。单变量分析表明，在年龄较小的成年人中，TIPI-J 中的外向性除了与握力有关外，还与 LSA 分数有显著关联。在老年人中，TIPI-J中的经验开放性与LSA得分以及股四头肌力量有显著关联。本研究揭示了人格特质（外向性和经验开放性）与 LSM 之间的相关性，以及与身体功能之间的相关性。考虑到老年人的个性特征对于设计支持和干预措施以保持和扩大 LSM 至关重要。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Gerontology (JAG) is the official journal of the Southern Gerontological Society. It features articles that focus on research applications intended to improve the quality of life of older persons or to enhance our understanding of age-related issues that will eventually lead to such outcomes. We construe application broadly and encourage contributions across a range of applications toward those foci, including interventions, methodology, policy, and theory. Manuscripts from all disciplines represented in gerontology are welcome. Because the circulation and intended audience of JAG is global, contributions from international authors are encouraged.
