Health practices and incident disability among the elderly.

L G Branch

This investigation examines the relationships between certain personal health practices and point-incident physical limitations over a five-year period among initially physically robust elders living in the communities. Slowed down physical activities (for elderly women) and a history of cigarette smoking (for elderly men) achieved associations with subsequent physical limitations; no firm associations between current lifestyle practices and onset of disability could be demonstrated.
