Percentage of Adults ≥65 Yrs Limited in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), by Poverty Ratio/Number of Limitations National Health Interview Survey

Submitted by Kathleen McGrath on Thu, 10/22/2009

During 2003-07, among adults aged ≥65 years, the poorest (<100% of the poverty threshold) were approximately twice as likely to need help with ADLs as the least poor (≥300% of the poverty threshold). Older adults were more likely to have 3-6 ADLs than 1-2 ADLs, except for the poorest group where the difference was not statistically significant.
