Abstract
Abstract Coronavirus-19 outbreak situation is a significant problem affecting the older population globally. The aim of this study was to investigate the association among physical activity, physical frailty, social frailty, life-space mobility, and depressive symptoms on quality of life in Thai older persons with non-communicable diseases prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. A path analysis was used for data analysis with the Mplus program. A total of 2,000 participants aged rang 60 – 89 years with a mean age of 65.13 years (SD = 4.62 years) participated in the study. Path analysis indicated that physical frailty was the strongest direct power on quality of life followed by depressive symptoms, and life-space mobility, respectively at the time of COVID-19's first outbreak. Monitoring and managing changes in physical frailty, depressive symptoms, and life-space mobility are suggested to promote active aging and maintain a good quality of life in this population, specifically age-friendly living areas.
