Transition between and mean time in function and care states during the 10 years after incident ADL/IADL disability.

	Death	Unpaid home-based care	No care, living at home	Recovery	Nursing home care	Both paid and unpaid home-based care	Paid home-based care
Proportion experiencing each state over the 10 years after disability	79.4%	40.1%	36.0%	29.0%	13.8%	9.5%	3.9%
Mean years in each state^a	8.86^b	3.89	3.37	4.77	3.29	2.59	2.93

Note. ADL = activities of daily living; IADL = instrumental activities of daily living.

Mean years in each state was assessed only for those reporting the specific state at least once.

This indicates that deceased individuals died a mean of 1.14 years after the first report of disability.
