aOther medical areas included nephrology, pediatrics, neurology
bIn contrast to the original ICF where “Activities and Participation” begins with (d), the ICF-Dietetics differentiates between “Activities (a)” and “Participation (p)” as it is also given as an alternative option by World Health Organization [58]
cICF-Dietetics provides a first draft of codes covering “Personal Factors”
dA concept could be used in different medical areas, thus, n is not the sum of them
