Clasificación de las personas dependientes a partir de la encuesta de discapacidades, deficiencias y estado de salud de 1999

Resumen

The dependent Spanish population is revealed to be in different situations related to different categories in terms of age, sex, number and severity of the daily living activities affected. The different assessments of the severity related to said categories, employing both the Spanish National Institute of Statistics maximum severity criterion as well as another alternative criterion which implements the degree of severity of all of the daily living activities, not only the maximum, confirm the nine groups found to be different from one another.
