Note: Cells contain the absolute percentage point difference between column‐heading prevalence rates of those with a row‐heading condition. ELSA and HRS samples are weighted. Sample is those aged 55 and over. ‘Moderate disability’ is defined as reporting four or more limitations (out of 22). ‘Severe disability’ is defined using an alternative threshold of eight limitations.
