BACKGROUND: Early indicators of declining function and frailty, such as life-space constriction (LSC), are important in identifying those at risk for frailty. PURPOSE: Examine factors associated with LSC and the influence on function and frailty. METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted using a convenience sample of community dwelling persons 55 and older living in the South. RESULTS: Most participants (N = 72) were female (69%; n = 50) and half were White (53.5%; n = 38). Individual factors including challenges (age-related physiological changes, disease burden, mental health limitations) and buoy (assistive devices, and other compensatory strategies) explained 22% variance in self-reported frailty (F = 3.099 (6, 65); p = .01). LSC explained 34% variance in function (F = 3.805 (8, 59); p = .001) when environmental supports (family ties, and social network) and challenges (area deprivation, built environment, and social disorganization) and individual factors were controlled for. Number of assistive devices was the only significant predictor of frailty.
