Abstract
In this cross-sectional study we found that 71% of the multi-morbid female elderly had a sub-optimal level of activities of daily living, as assessed with the Katz-15 scale. The results of our study show that multiple disorders are associated with ADL disabilities in multi-morbid older men and women. We found socio-demographic characteristics not to be independently associated ADL disabilities.
