The aim of this study is to provide projections on severe mobility limitations up to year 2044 and illustrate how the projected prevalence and the number of persons with severe mobility limitations are affected by potential changes in the modifiable risk factors, namely excess weight, physical inactivity and smoking.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We analysed the nationally representative, repeated measures Health 2000 and 2011 Surveys (BRIF8901) with 8615 and 6740 participants, respectively, aged 18 years and older. Severe mobility limitations were defined as major difficulties or unable to walk about half a kilometre. We applied a multistate model on repeated measures to account for both individual risk factors and their changes over time.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The number of people with severe mobility limitations was projected to double by the year 2044 in Finland, due to the rapid ageing of the population. Eliminating half of the excess weight would reduce their number by one-fifth, while reductions in the prevalence of smoking and physical inactivity would have a minor impact. Even if excess weight, smoking and physical inactivity were completely eliminated, the number of persons with severe mobility limitations is projected to increase.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Designing and implementing strategies to promote healthy weight are important to slow down the rapid increase in mobility limitations due to population ageing.
