| Annotation | US trends during the 1990s in late-life difficulty and assistance with self-care activities are described. Among older Americans living in the community and experiencing difficulty with self-care activities, assistive technology use increased substantially, whereas use of personal care declined. The authors use a decomposition technique to demonstrate that these shifts in assistance towards technology account for half of the decline in the number of people dependent on personal care. (RH). |
