Description topics
- Functional limitations
- Functional limitations
Functional limitations (physical) are observed by means of 3 groups of questions:
a. The OECD indicator for persons in the age category of 12 years or older.
b. The ADL (Activities of Daily Living) indicator for persons in the age category of 55 years or older.
c. Temporary activity limitations and bed-days for persons of all ages.- Limitations OECD, 12 years or older
- The OECD indicator (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) in this table is based on 7 questions on abilities that people normally can perform, if necessary with glasses or a hearing aid. It does not deal with temporary problems.
1. Can you follow a conversation in a group of three or more persons? (with hearing aid, if needed)
2. Can you have a conversation with one other person? (with hearing aid, if needed)
3. Can you read the small print in the newspaper? (with glasses or contact lenses, if needed)
4. Can you recognise somebody's face at a distance of 4 metres? (with glasses or contact lenses, if needed)
5. Can you carry an object of 5 kilogrammes, for instance a shopping bag, over a distance of 10 metres?
6. Can you bend down from an upright position and pick up something from the floor?
7. Can you walk 400 metres without stopping? (with stick, if needed)
Answer categories to these questions are: 'without difficulty', 'with some difficulty', 'with a lot of difficulty', 'impossible'. The indicator scores 'yes' if the answer to at least 1 of the 7 questions is: 'with a lot of difficulty' or 'impossible'. The respondents are persons in the age category 12 years or older.- Persons with mobility limitation
- Percentage of persons of 12 years or older who answered ꞌyes, with a lot of difficultyꞌ or ꞌno, impossibleꞌ to at least 1 of the 3 questions on mobility limitation (according to the OECD indicator).
- Technical aids
- Persons aged 4 years and over are asked whether they have a hearing aid or a special device for sound reinforcement, whether they wear glasses or contact lenses, or another technical aid for seeing or reading. For children under the age of 12, the questions are answered by the parent / caretaker. Persons aged 12 years and over are asked whether they use mobility aids, anatomical aids, and/or incontinence aids. As of 2018, the question about auditive aids has been changed to Do you / Does your child use a hearing aid? or yes to the question: Do you / Does your child use a special device to amplify the sound of your telephone or television?.
- Mobility aids, 12 years or older
- Percentage of persons of 12 years or older who answer ‘yes’ the the question: ‘Do you use mobility aids, such as a walking stick, crutches, walking frame, rollator, wheel chair or mobility scooter?’.
