*Chi-squared with Yates' continuity correction; **Adjusted for functional decrease and instrumental activities of daily living.
Respiratory mortality with HR adjustment fell by 11% (HR 0.887, 95% CI 0.804 0.978, P = 0.016) and 24% (HR 0.760, 95% CI 0.627 0.922, P = 0.005) with one-point increases in the scores of total functional capacity and instrumental self-maintenance activity, respectively.
Respiratory mortality adjusted for the same confounding factors fell by 11% and 24% with one-point increases in the scores for total functional capacity and instrumental self-maintenance activity, respectively, but this mortality did not relate to the scores for intellectual activity and social roles activity (Table 3).
Indicators of heath status, including cognition (global cognition and five specific cognitive abilities), functional status (basic and instrumental activities of daily living, mobility disability), and mental health (depressive symptoms, loneliness) were assessed.
The functional ability component was selected with two objectives, one for increasing functional ability in physical and instrumental ADL (IADL) and another to obtain competent and safe performance.
Aim: Increasing functional ability in physical and instrumental ADL.
In México the rates of functional dependency in basic and instrumental activities of daily living (BADL and IADL) is 24% and 23%, respectively [ 21].
Participants' objective health status was evaluated by recording their chronic conditions, symptoms of depression, and functional status of ADL and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).
The domain of functional status includes activities and instrumental activities of daily living, motor skills, senses (i.e. hearing and vision), cognition, pain and health-related quality of life.
