This indicator shows the percentage of the population aged 65 years and over with a self-care difficulty.
Why is this important?
People with a self-care difficulty encounter challenges in performing activities of daily living (ADLs), such as dressing or bathing. Older adults are at increased risk for experiencing self-care difficulties. Depending on the severity of the disability, people with a self-care difficulty may require additional assistance in the home to conduct daily activities.
