Abstract

This article presents a systematic review of the literature on correlates/predictors of mobility limitation among community-dwelling U.S. Hispanic older adults. A search of scientific databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) was conducted. After abstract and full text review, 20 epidemiologic studies that met all eligibility criteria were included. The theoretical framework of mobility was used to categorize factors related to mobility limitation. The majority of the studies reviewed (n = 17) examined some aspect of physical factors in relation to mobility limitation. Several factors emerged as important influences on mobility outcomes: diabetes mellitus, stroke, obesity, arthritis, and depression. None examined the influence of built environment. This review suggests that multilevel factors can impact both mobility limitations and disability among U.S. Hispanic older adults. However, the study findings were inconsistent, with some studies showing significant relationships or effects and others demonstrating no associations or mixed findings.
