This suggests that our sample population consists of older people with some functional limitation, but little perceived disability, consistent with the pre-clinical stage of mobility disability[ 7].
In this study, somatization was found to be a significant predictor for high disability, consistent with previous studies of TMD patients with chronic pain [26, 51].
Of particular interest was their observation that mutation location contributes to cognitive disability but not to motor disability, consistent with the view that that tissue specific effects are mediated at least in part by the effects of DMD mutations on the expression of tissue specific isoform expression.
Cataract formation was defined as functional disability consistent with lens opacities noted by slit lamp examination.
In contrast, this study used broad and rather non-specific criteria defining mobility disability consistent with other studies examining the relationship between frailty and disability [ 1, 37, 38].
Targeting was used to examine how well the distribution of ODI measured the disability consistent with the levels of functional limitation of the patients [ 23].
Overall, the UN Convention provides the philosophical vision and the call to action; the ICF provides a neutral framework for functioning and disability, consistent with these ideas.
As expected, we found an inverse relation between daily time spent in moderate-vigorous activities and the development of disability, consistent with the many health benefits tied to physical activity of moderate or vigorous intensity.
We selected a group of people with a comparable function and disability profile, consistent with the pre-clinical stage of disability, from a sample of older Australian men and women from different residential settings using the Fried pre-clinical disability screening tool.
Our findings on relationship between satisfaction and disability are consistent with the previous literature [ 22, 74].
