Luigi Ferrucci,Jack M. Guralnik,Chiara Cavazzini,Stefania Bandinelli,Fulvio Lauretani,Benedetta Bartali,Lazzaro Repetto,Dan L. Longo +7 more

Sonja Vestergaard,Susan G. Nayfield,Kushang V. Patel,Basil A. Eldadah,Matteo Cesari,Luigi Ferrucci,Graziano Ceresini,Jack M. Guralnik +7 more

Journal ArticleDOI
The Impact of Functional Status on Life Expectancy in Older Persons
TL;DR: This work uses longitudinal data from the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly to determine transition probabilities between three functional states and death and found that both ADL and mobility disability result in diminished survival and more of that survival period spent in disabled states.
