Assessment of functional status through self-reported physical disability and performance-based functional limitations among elderly

This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess functional status (self-reported physical disability and performance-based functional limitations) among community-dwelling elderly in Mukim Batu (Gombak), Selangor. A total of 258 subjects (males=123; females=135), aged 60 years and above were recr...

As for performance-based, the prevalence of cognitive impairment (ECAQ≤5), mobility dependent (EMS≤13) and poor manual dexterity (lock and key test score≤2) was only less than 5% each.
