Out-of-home mobility and social participation have been identified as resources to postpone frailty. We aim to examine the mediating role and specific contribution of social out-of-home activities in frailty prevention. Data from the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) waves six (w6), seven (w7), and eight (w8) were used.

- - The text discusses the growing need for strategies to prevent or reduce care dependency among individuals, with a focus on insights from long-term care assessments.
- - It highlights a study analyzing data from 339,486 first-time long-term care applicants aged 60 and older in 2021, revealing that a majority were in lower care levels and common diagnoses included senility, polyarthritis, and dementia.
- - The findings indicate that social factors like age, gender, living arrangements, and geographic location impact care level classification, suggesting that further research is needed to understand these regional differences in diagnoses.

Background: Out-of-home mobility, defined as active and passive movement through external environments, is a resource for autonomy, quality of life, and self-realization in older age. Various factors influence out-of-home mobility, primarily studied in urban settings. The study aims to examine associated factors in a study population aged 75 and above in rural areas.

We investigated the association between these two traits using two approaches. First, we examined the phylogenetic correlation between the presence of a keel and known burrowing behavior in cirrate octopuses.

This fragmentation of the landscape generates diverse little-explored ecological associations, especially in the zone of sub-Antarctic islands of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. One way to address this lack of knowledge is through the biotope characterization methodology, with ecological units composed of the habitat and the communities associated with these environments, obtaining data and information on the dominant and incidental taxonomic groups.
