Data from baseline in-home assessments with followup telephone assessments of life-space mobility completed every 6 months were used in linear mixed-effects modeling analyses to examine life-space mobility trajectories.<br \/><strong><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Main outcome measure:<\/strong> Life-space mobility.<br \/><strong><\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Results:<\/strong> In comparison to veterans, nonveterans were more likely to be Black, single, and live in rural areas. They also reported lower income and education. Veterans had higher baseline life-space (73.7 vs 64.9 for non-veterans; <em>P<\/em>&lt;.001). Race-veteran<br \/>subgroup analyses revealed significant differences in demographics, comorbidity, cognition, and physical function. Relative to Black veterans, there were significantly greater declines in life-space trajectories for White non-veterans (P=.009), but not for White veterans (P=.807) nor Black non-veterans (P=.633). Mortality at 8.5 years was 43.5% for veterans and 49.5% for non-veterans (P=.190) with no significant differences by race-veteran status.<\/p><p><strong>Conclusions:<\/strong> Veterans had significantly higher baseline life-space mobility. There were significantly greater declines in lifespace<br \/>trajectories for White non-veterans in comparison to other race-veteran subgroups. Black veterans and non-veterans did not have significantly different trajectories.<em>Ethn Dis. <\/em>2015;25(3):255-262.<\/p><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18865\/ed.25.3.255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,11]],"date-time":"2015-11-11T09:32:52Z","timestamp":1447234372000},"page":"255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Impact of Veteran Status on Life-Space Mobility among Older Black and White Men in the Deep South"],"prefix":"10.18865","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Gina M.","family":"McCaskill, PhD, MSW, MPA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Sawyer, PhD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathryn L.","family":"Burgio, PhD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Kennedy, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Courtney P.","family":"Williams, MPH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olivio J.","family":"Clay, PhD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cynthia J.","family":"Brown, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard M.","family":"Allman, MD","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"18154","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,5]]},"container-title":["Ethnicity & Disease"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ethndis.org\/edonline\/index.php\/ethndis\/article\/viewFile\/47\/51","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ethndis.org\/edonline\/index.php\/ethndis\/article\/viewFile\/47\/64","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ethndis.org\/edonline\/index.php\/ethndis\/article\/download\/47\/51","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,3,8]],"date-time":"2019-03-08T12:41:38Z","timestamp":1552048898000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ethndis.org\/edonline\/index.php\/ethndis\/article\/view\/47"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,5]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18865\/ed.25.3.255","relation":{},"ISSN":["1945-0826","1049-510X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1945-0826","type":"electronic"},{"value":"1049-510X","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,5]]}}}
