Mobility disability in midlife: A longitudinal study of the role of anticipated instrumental support and social class
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 10/19/09

Nilsson CJ et al. – In this middle–aged population the anticipation of instrumental support had no significant effect on mobility disability at 6–year follow–up. Social class did not modify the association between anticipated instrumental support and mobility, but was the most important confounder. Further research on the effect of social support on mobility in midlife is needed in order to identify individuals at risk of disability at an early stage.
