Sex differences in probability of ADL limitations by number of limitations

The top panels show the probability of having the given number of ADL limitations plotted by age for men and women in each birth cohort. The bottom panels show the sex difference in the probability of having limitations. Positive values indicate women have a greater probability than men of a given number of limitations. Predicted probabilities are based on models adjusted for sex, age, birth cohort, and their interactions, marital status, study, region, education, and labour force status and plotted for reference categories for all covariates. ADL=activities of daily living.
