N2 - Introduction:Although extensive factors have been examined for limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), it remains unclear as to the impacts of neighborhood-level factors on ADL and IADL limitations. Thus, we aim to examine whether neighborhood characteristics are predictive of limitations in ADL and IADL.Methods:A total of 7,407 participants were selected from the National Health and Aging Trend Study. We used data from round 1 (2011) to round 8 (2018). Neighborhood characteristics were measured as social cohesion and physical disorder. Daily activity limitations were counted based on the domains of ADL and IADL. Mixed-effects negative binomial regression analyses were performed to estimate the effects of neighborhood features on ADL and IADL limitations.Results:Better neighborhood social cohesion significantly predicted less limitations in ADL (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 0.98, 95% confidence interval [C
