Age-specific prevalence and risk factors for severe activity of daily living disability among older adults residing in long-term care facilities in Korea: A cross-sectional study using first year of a longitudinal study

Findings highlight the need for age-specific management strategies: muscle strengthening and exercise programs for young-old females, integrated and simultaneous management for the mid-old, and strategies to maintain core physiological functions for the old-old. These findings support long-term care policies and contribute to developing care systems in an aged society.
