Participant
Comorbidities, such as non-communicable diseases (NCD), are more prevalent in older age and could act as confounders in this context. NCDs may restrict participation in social activities, resulting in a less active contact pattern. Conversely, younger individuals typically have fewer comorbidities, contributing to increased participation and a more active pattern, as indicated by the results.
