chronic disability in old age  

Definición

  • Chronic impairments such as arthritis and vision or hearing loss become more normative with age and often involve major limitations in functional ability that can threaten a person's mental health and quality of life. Performing daily life tasks can become increasingly difficult due to an impairment, and new ways of coping are needed that allow a person to maintain his or her quality of life despite limitations.
