Prevalence and distribution of hip and knee joint replacements and hip implants in older Americans by the end of life

Journal ArticleDOI
Does self-reported function correspond to objective measures of functional impairment?
TL;DR: The validity of self-report functional disability measures and the potential to use these measures to identify already-disabled older adults at risk for further functional degradation and potential targets for intervention are suggested.
