What this trial studies

This observational study will enroll at least 159 adults aged 65 and over and collect information via face-to-face interviews at Pamukkale University. Investigators will record demographics and measure cognition (Hodkinson Mental Test), climate change health literacy (Climate Change Health Literacy Scale), climate-related anxiety (Climate Change Anxiety Scale), physical activity (Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity), dyspnea (Modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale), and mental fatigue (Mental Fatigue Scale). Each assessment is brief (about 15–20 minutes) and requires a Hodkinson score of 6 or higher for participation. People with dementia, psychosis, significant neurological or orthopedic disabilities, blindness, or chronic painful illnesses are excluded from the study.
