| Annotation | Differences between self-reported disability and observed functional limitations in six activities of daily living (ADL) tasks were measured for older people living in the community from the Framingham Cohort study. The authors' findings suggest that physical functional limitations and disability in older people are two distinct concepts, and that the measure of choice should be determined by research objectives and the type of population being studied.
