Abstract

<p>This study surveyed 1,067 older adults aged 65 years or older living in a hilly suburban residential area and used the total score of the Kihon Check List as an indicator of frailty to examine the relationship between the built environment, frailty, and outgoing behavior. The results showed an association between frailty and having about 6-8 steps at the entrance approach. In addition, an association was found between having about 9-11 steps and frequency of going out for those aged 80 years and older. </p>
