| Annotation | Using data from the Assets and Health Dynamics among the Oldest-Old (AHEAD) study, the authors examine the relative influence of each stage in the disablement process in the evolution of ethno-racial group differences in basic and instrumental disability. This article demonstrates the importance of cognitive status in the disablement process, especially in ethno-racial group differences. The authors discuss the practical implications for health care delivery to non-white elders and the theoretical implications for understanding the complexities of disablement. (KJ/RH). |
