Abstract
Among older persons, disability in essential activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, walking, and transferring, is common and associated with increased mortality, institutionalization, and greater use of formal and informal home services.1 Active life expectancy, a metric that is often used by policy makers to forecast the functional health of older persons, is based on disability.2,3Keywords
