Abstract

ObjectivesFollowing the WHO 2015 policy framework, we tested the effects of older people’s intrinsic capacity and their perceptions of their neighborhood environments on mental and physical health-related quality of life (QoL) outcomes across two years.Study designParticipants (mean age = 66) were d...
