| Annotation | The focus of this article is to determine the probability of making transitions through various activities of daily living (ADL) limitation levels, controlling for gender, age, and baseline ADL level, and using death as a competing outcome. The authors use the US Longitudinal Study of Aging and categorical data techniques to model the probability of these transitions. Much heterogeneity was found among the transitions, with significant age and functional limitation effects. However, death and functional limitations were not necessarily highly linked. |
