So although the increasing prevalence of chronic disease is not confined to advanced economies, we know far less of the everyday experiences and social aspects of disability and disablement in middle and low income countries [but see [ 3, 4]].
Although non-communicable and chronic disease now accounts for 47% of the global burden of disease, little is known of the everyday experiences and social aspects of disability and disablement in middle and low income countries.
Health-care providers should consider using brief cognitive screening measures as indicators of mortality and disablement in their older patients with diabetes.
For example, in 2004, the social and welfare costs of claims for incapacitation and severe disablement in the UK from severe stress reactions and PTSD amounted to £104 million per annum [ 13].
The ICF classifies its components into categories that are analogous to the disablement process stages: body structures and functions in the ICF are analogous to the stages of pathology and impairment, while activities and participation correspond to functional limitations and disability in the disablement process [ 22].
Africa has the highest rate of child disablement in the world.
Identification of mechanisms underlying physical function will be important for addressing the growing challenge that health care will face with physical disablement in the expanding aging population.
Therefore, identification of mechanisms underlying muscle strength, lower extremity function, and mobility will be important for addressing the growing challenge that health care will face with physical disablement in the expanding aging population.
'GeneWise' tool [ 42] was used, to align the above-obtained genomic DNA sequence and the human parental protein sequence, and to detect disablements in the alignment.
However, many pseudogenes identified by the community annotators did not pass the strict coverage and disablement criteria set in our pipeline and as a consequence, were not annotated as pseudogenes in the present study.
