Socio-health factors, ability to perform instrumental and basic activities of daily living, and use of assistive mobility devices during the COVID-19 pandemic: Interrelationships and impact on long-term survival
Functional ADL-dependence affects multiple facets of the person. Confinement triggered changes in the baseline conditions of this cohort, which were influenced by the level of dependency, mobility capacity and economic income level. Economic capacity modulated the results, showing that social inequalities influence survival. The ability to leave home and the use of a wheelchair should be included in the assessment of the risk level of this population group.
