Older adults who maintain social connections, even simple ones, tend to live longer and better.
3. Loss of mobility and its consequences
Reduced mobility is a gradual process, but it has a major impact on quality of life.
At first, it may seem normal: moving more slowly, feeling stiffness, or losing balance. But when this leads to avoiding activities, the problem worsens.
Less movement means weaker muscles, less independence, and a higher risk of falls. In addition, many people stop attending gatherings or activities due to fear or insecurity.
