Assistive devices among very old Europeans - Results from the ENABLE-AGE Project

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

The aim of this study was to investigate use and need for assistive devices (AD) in a cross-national European sample. Data from the ENABLE-AGE research project were utilised involving very old persons in Sweden, Germany, Latvia, Hungary and the United Kingdom. Of the total sample 65% reported that they had and used one or more AD, and 14% reported unfilled need for AD. The most commonly used AD were AD for communication, followed AD for mobility. The result can serve as input for future planning and development of information and services to improve health care and social services for older.
