Mobility affects the health and well-being of a growing aging population. Although this is an important area of research, most of the work focuses on one type of mobility at a time, e.g., walking or driving or the use of passenger transport. This presentation outlines an integrated mobility agenda, which is based on the lived experiences of older adults, and examines the health effects of combinations of different modes of mobility as part of everyday life, e.g., walking and driving. The research and practice implications of this integrated approach are addressed.
