Advanced age is the most substantial risk factor for the development of osteoarthritis (OA), which consequently declines elderly mobility and activities. So, countless elders get a functional impairment or disability. All three aspects of a person’s environment (physical, social and attitudinal) affect the activities of the elderly. Understanding in what way specific factors in one’s environment affect the capacity of participation in life’s roles is very important for the gerontological nurse. This study aimed to determine the association between the environmental factors and healthrelated functional disability of older adults with osteoarthritis. The study followed a descriptive correlation design and conducted in the Orthopedic Outpatient Clinics of Qena General Hospital, South Valley University Hospital, and ElHakeem El Shamil for handicapped and rehabilitation centers in Qena governorate, Egypt. One hundred and fifty (150) participants of elderly persons from both sex, aged 60 years and older, who were diagnosed with osteoarthritis had participated. Three tools used for data collection. More than half (53.3 %) of the studied participants had slight limitations at the functioning level. The majority (58.0 %) of the studied participants had moderate limitations at the disability limitation level, and more than two fifths (43.3%) of the participants had slight limitations at the disability frequency level. The study concluded that communication devices are the most crucial factor that affects healthrelated functional disability. This followed by transportation, age, sex, social environment, attitude, home mobility, community mobility, assistive devices, and mobility devices.
