Table 1. Most frequent values (i.e. prevalence above 50%) for each health indicator, by HAT score.

HAT, Health Assessment Tool; ADL, basic activities of daily living; IADL, instrumental activities of daily living; CD, chronic diseases; MMSE, Mini-Mental State Examination.
Clinical interpretation of HAT scores: 0-1.9 = severe functional dependence; 2-4.9 = mild functional dependence; 5-6.9 = compromised physical functioning with multimorbidity and medium cognitive functioning; 7-8.9 = light decreased physical or cognitive functioning with some morbidities; 9-10 = good physical functioning and morbidity status.
*As no category was above 50%, the two with highest prevalence are reported.
