Screening the Elderly: A Brief Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Measure
Abstract
Although multidimensional functional assessment may be the route of choice in determining the personal status of the elderly and the services they need, the majority of the elderly are well and competent, making it hard to justify routine extensive assessment with its attendant costs. Described herein is a brief, valid, and reliable five‐item screener based on instrumental activities of daily living which can rapidly identify elderly community residents with impaired functional capacity, and which, because of its substantial correlation with physical health ( r = .54 to .55), mental health ( r = .54 to .60), and predictability of death can identify those for whom more extensive assessment is warranted. Use of such a brief screener should result in better targeting of elderly in need of service, facilitate coordinated and efficient health care delivery, and maintain the functional independence of the elderly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
