Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated how life-space activities relate to the development of dementia in older adults, involving 2,740 participants with an average age of 74.4 years.
- - Researchers used the Active Mobility Index (AMI) to measure life-space activities and tracked dementia cases over an average follow-up of about 54 months, finding that 11.9% of participants developed dementia.
- - Results indicated that higher AMI scores correlated with a lower risk of dementia, with both physical and social activity levels being significant factors in dementia risk.

Background/objectives: There is a notable lack of evidence regarding the long-term effects of rehabilitation services, particularly concerning functional recovery and daily living activities of patients following discharge from convalescent rehabilitation wards. This study aimed to clarify the longitudinal changes in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living of patients after discharge from a convalescent rehabilitation ward and the association between the use of rehabilitation services and clinical outcomes.
Methods: Patients discharged from Japanese convalescent rehabilitation wards in August 2021 were included.
