Which factor might lead to decreased quality of life in older adults according to health risks?

Regular exercise
Reduced social interaction
Good nutrition
Strong community support

The correct answer is: Reduced social interaction

Reduced social interaction is a recognized factor that can lead to a decreased quality of life in older adults. Social engagement plays a crucial role in emotional well-being and overall health. As individuals age, they may experience losses such as retirement, the passing of friends or family, or physical limitations that restrict their ability to engage in activities, leading to isolation. This lack of interaction can contribute to loneliness, depression, and anxiety, significantly impacting mental health and physical health outcomes. Conversely, factors such as regular exercise, good nutrition, and strong community support are associated with enhanced quality of life and improved health outcomes among older adults. Thus, reduced social interaction negatively affects the overall quality of life in this population.
