Older people (aged 75 and over) who complain of fatigue from daily life activities are at increased risk of decreased activity, mobility and increased mobility impairment compared to those who do not make such complaints.
Other factors negatively affecting the ability of elderly people to function independently and fully are poor cognitive functioning, poorly varied social relationships and close to zero physical activity.
It is clear from the above data that older people's complaints about fatigue should be taken seriously.
