Individual-and state-level factors associated with functional limitation prevalence among Colombian elderly: A multilevel analysis

This study aimed to identify the main regional factors associated with variations in the prevalence of functional limitation on the older adult in Colombia adjusted by individual characteristics. This multilevel study used cross-sectional data from 23,694 adults over 60 years of age in the SABE, Col...
