Implication

Cross-sectional analysis identifies key factors affecting iadl in daycare center users, suggesting targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Low iadl is linked to higher timed up and go test scores, indicating slower mobility risks.
  • Light physical activity under 193 minutes daily associated with iadl decline, implying need for intervention.
  • This multicenter cross-sectional study evaluated 196 older adults, revealing critical factors for maintaining iadl.
  • Identified cutoff values may help staff develop effective exercises, supporting older adults' independence.
