目的：老龄化政策的主要目标是优化晚年的独立性。我们估计了家庭环境中的身体和社会挑战与使用辅助设备（AD）在家中移动之间的横截面关联，控制下肢身体表现（短身体表现电池[SPPB]）和其他因素。设计和方法：数据来自妇女健康和老龄化研究I，这是一项前瞻性研究，以中度至重度残疾老年妇女为样本，研究与身体残疾有关的因素。我们在基线样本中描述了这些相关性，也在有和没有基线和3年随访观察的子集中描述了这些相关性。结果：平均而言，家庭环境中的身体挑战与AD使用水平呈负相关（p
Purpose: A primary goal for aging policy is to optimize independence in later life. We estimate the cross-sectional association between physical and social challenge in the home environment and use of assistive devices (AD) for mobility in the home, controlling for lower extremity physical performance (short physical performance battery [SPPB]) and other factors. Design and Methods: Data are from the Women's Health and Aging Study I, a prospective study of the factors related to physical disability in a sample of moderately to severely disabled older women. We describe these associations in the baseline sample overall and also within subsets who do and do not have both a baseline and a 3-year follow-up observation. Results: On average, physical challenge in the home environment is inversely associated with level of AD use (p
