Factors that influence physical function and emotional well-being among Medicare-Medicaid enrollees.
The researchers examined the associations between race, gender, age, neighborhood poverty, education, and health behaviors (i.e., smoking, exercise, and physical activity) with physical function and emotional well-being in Medicare-Medicaid enrollees. They determined that race, neighborhood poverty, education, and income did not influence physical function or emotional well-being; however, physical activity was associated both with an increased self-report of physical function and emotional well-being.
