The prevalence of disability in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) was assessed for seven items of activity -- among them, using public transportation, using the telephone, and shopping -- in 7,735 elderly residents living in an urban Japanese community. The prevalence of disability generally was low (ranging from 6.1% in heating water to 15.9% in preparing meals), but increased significantly with age. The prevalence was higher, controlling by age, in females than in males, with the exception of preparing meals.
