Self-assessed health of Hispanic elderly persons
Abstract:
The relationships between self-assessed health and physical and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scores were examined for 152 noninstitutionalized Hispanic elderly persons in the community. Self-assessed health was not related to either physical or instrumental activities, but was related to education. There were significant differences between men and women when the three measures were analyzed. Cultural explanations are offered for the findings of this study and the implications of these findings for community health nursing are discussed.
