| Annotation | The associations of different instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) with self-rated health may depend on general abilities in basic ADLs. In people with good or fair status in basic ADLs, use of transport appears to be the most important IADL. In people with poorer status, it may be more efficient to focus rehabilitation on basic rather than instrumental ADLs. For this study, a group of researchers in Spain used the Barthel index and Lawton and Brody's index for basic and instrumental ADLs, respectively. The results of their cross-sectional study are presented. (RH). |
