Sex differences in the probability of ≥1 mobility, IADL, and ADL limitation

The top panels show the probability of having ≥1 functional limitation plotted by age for men and women in each birth cohort. The bottom panels show the sex difference in the probability of having ≥1 functional limitation. A positive value indicates women have a greater probability than men. Predicted probabilities are based on models adjusted for sex, age, birth cohort, and their interactions, marital status, study, and region and plotted for reference categories for all covariates. ADL=activities of daily living. IADL=instrumental activities of daily living.
