La funcionalidad cobra un lugar relevante en la independencia
de los mayores, situación que se pretende se mantenga el mayor
tiempo posible de la vida.
La funcionalidad es un construto multidimensional medido a
través de las actividades personales e instrumentales de la vida.
El objetivo primordial del estudio es validar una escala de
actividades de la vida, para la población portuguesa, de mediana
edad y envejecida (n = 1.322).
De los resultados del estudio verificamos la existencia de tres
factores con características psicométricas adecuadas: movilidad,
actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria y actividades
personales de la vida diaria, con una variación explicada del
64,75%, teniendo un interés específico para la población que
vive en la comunidad.
Functionality has primordial importance in old people´s independence; situation we wish to be as long as possible in the course of one’s life. Functionality is a multidimensional construct measured through personal and instrumental activities of the life (ADL and IADL). The aim of this study is to validate a scale of daily life activities for the Portuguese population, middle-aged and elderly (n = 1322). Results of this study show us the existence of three factors, with suitable psychometric characteristics, which are: mobility, instrumental activities of daily life and personal activities of daily life, with an explained variation of 64.75%. It has a specific interest for the population living in the community.
