Stroke and activity limitation in Chinese adults 65 Years or older.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Differences in activity limitations between stroke survivors and people with other chronic conditions and how their levels of activity limitation vary by sociodemographic characteristics have not been well quantified.

Objective

To quantify activity limitations experienced by Chinese older adult stroke survivors and explore stroke effects in specific subgroups.

Methods

We used Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey 2017-2018 data (N = 11,743) to produce population-weighted estimates of activity limitations using the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and the Instrumental ADL (IADL) scales for older adults (age 65 and older) stroke survivors compared to those with non-stroke chronic conditions and those without chronic conditions.
