Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS RAR0xmy1. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Background : This study aims to establish the extent of educational differences in the disability transitions of incidence, recovery and mortality in people aged 65 years and over, whether these can be explained by differentials in disease burden and their relative contribution to educational differences in prevalence and disability-free life expectancy (DFLE). Methods : A stratified random sample of 13004 participants in five areas in England and Wales were interviewed in 1991-94 and followed up at 2,6 (one centre only) and 10 years. Two levels of disability were analysed : mobility difficulty and activities of daily living (ADL) disability. We fitted logistic regression models to model educational differences in disability prevalence, incidence, recovery and mortality transitions. DFLE was calculated to assess the combined effect of the dynamic transitions. Results : Those with |
