Secondary and Comorbid Conditions
A secondary condition is a preventable physical, mental or social disorder resultingdirectly or indirectly from an initial disabling condition (Lollar, 1999; Simeonsson &McDevitt, 1999). The concept of secondary conditions is one of the hallmarks ofthinking that distinguishes disability in public health from traditional concepts ofprevention (see also Chapters “Introduction” and “Social and Behavioral Dimensions of […]

What is physiological reserve
Mosqueda (2004) made a distinction in physiological reserve over time among peoplewithout disability, with people aging with disability, and those with injury-related disability. Her model is instructive. Mosqueda defines physiologic reserve as the buffer that allows us to cope with and recover from stressors. So it is that a 25-yearold-man can outrun a 75-year-old-man. The […]

Aging with a Disability

Measurement and Conceptual Frameworks for Aging and Disability
Early efforts to measure disability among older people emerged from efforts toquantify function at the person level for rehabilitation (Frey, 1984). As noted above,aging has relied upon ADLs and IADLs. In 1959 Katz introduced Katz Activitiesof Daily Lying Scale (ADLs) (Benjamin Rose Hospital, 1959) that included sixmeasures: bathing, dressing, toileting, transfers, continence, and feeding (Katz,Ford, […]

Progressive and Catastrophic Onset of Disability
Not all disability is caused by progressive chronic conditions. While aging anddisabilityare both dimensional and dynamic experiences, the onset of disabilitymay be catastrophic – as in the case with falls – and consequent injury – and stroke.Ferrucci et al. (1996) examined the Established Populations for EpidemiologicStudies of the Elderly (EPESE) to distinguish between progressive and […]

Disease and Comorbid Conditions as Pathway to Disability
Disease and comorbid conditions define one pathway to disability in older age. The prevalence and risk factors for chronic conditions leading to disability are especiallyvulnerable to disparities, for example by poverty, gender, and ethnicity (Albert,2004). In one example, Ettinger et al. (1994) examined the Cardiovascular HealthStudy to identify diseasesreported as causing difficulty with particular activities. […]

Late Life Disability

ADLs include bathing, dressing, eating, transferring,and toileting. IADLs include using the phone, driving, meal preparation,shopping, housework, managing medications, and managing finances. Employingthese concepts of ADLs and IADLs, studies from the 1980s […]

Pathways to Disability
The characteristics of disability are shaped in large part by three pathways to disability. The most common pathway to disability occurs among older people who experience functional decline in later years – generally as a result of chronic conditions,or combinations of chronic conditions that create activity limitations overtime. For example, mild arthritis may be annoying […]
