Associations between physical impairment and activities of daily living difficulty by race/ethnicity for women, National Health and Aging Trends Study (2012). Predicted values are plotted for an average woman, age 65–74, married, with a high school education, an average number of chronic conditions, and no signs of physical disrepair or clutter inside the home at no impairment (short physical performance battery, SPPB = 0), a clinical cut point for a significantly increased risk for developing mobility difficulty (SPPB = 2), and at a clinically high level of impairment (SPPB = 5; Vasunilashorn et al., 2009).
