I BED DISABILITY

AMONG THE CHRONICALLY LIMITED

Charles S. Wilder, Division of Health Interview Statistics

SELECTED FINDINGS

An estimated average of 72 million persons, or 41.4 percent of the civilian population, excluding those residing in ‘institutions, had one or more chronic diseases or impairments. during the 4- year period from July 1957 through June 1961.

This estimate is based on information collected in household interviews by the Health Interview Survey, National Center for Health Statistics. The percentage of the population with one or more chronic conditions increased with age until, for persons 75 years and older; 84.1 percent were so affected.

Approximately 18 million persons had some form of limitation of activity due to their chronic conditions. Among these persons about 4.7 million also had some degree of limitation of mobility.

These persons with both activity and mobility limitations were distributed in the following manner:

Major activity refers to the ability to work, keep house, or engage in school or preschool activities.

It is evident that as the degree of mobility limi- tation increases in severity, it is accompanied by more severe —. activity limitation.

Estimates of the average annual number of days spent in bed during the 4-year period have been made for all persons, those with no chronic conditions, those with one or more chronic con- ditions, and those with limitations. The average person in the civilian, noninstitutional population spent 6.3 days in bed per year because of illness or injury. For persons with no chronic conditions, the average was 3.3 days per person per year.

Among persons with one or more chronic con- ditions, the annual rate rose to about 10.7 days per person. However, for persons who were not limited in activity, the rate was only 5.4 days a year. Persons who were limited, but in a manner not affecting major activity, averaged 12.7 days in bed per year. For those limited in the amount

or kind of major activity the average was 17.5 days and among those unable to carry on their major activity about 65.2 days of bed disability per year.

Among persons whose mobility as well as activity was affected substantial numbers re- ported bed-disability days. On the average those who had trouble getting around alone reported 31.9 days a year, those who could not get around alone, 41.8 days a year, and persons who were confined to the house, about 131.3 days in bed per year.

The interrelationship of chronic limitations and bed disability is examined in later sections of this report by such population characteristics as geographic region, family income, living arrangements, and age.

SOURCE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA

The measurements of disability shown in this

limitation of activity and mobility among persons with one or more chronic conditions, and short-term bed disability incurred by these persons, were derived from household interviews. These health interviews weye con- ducted in a probability sample of the civilian, noninstitutional population of the United States for the Health Interview Survey, National Center for Health Statistics. Each week a representative sample of the Nation’s households is interviewed by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the Health Interview Survey. During the period covered by this report the sample was composed of approximately 149,000 households, containing about 485,000 persons living at the time of the interview. Information about health, social, and demographic characteristics of each household member was recorded on a questionnaire similar to that illustrated in Appendix 111,which shows the questionnaire used during July 1960-June 1961.

A brief description of the statistical design of the Survey, the methods of estimation, and the general qualifications of the data obtained from the Survey is presented in Appendix I. Since all of the data included in this report are estimates based on a sample of the population rather than on the entire population, they are subject to sampling errors. While the sampling errors for most of the estimates are of relatively low magnitude, where

an estimated number or the numerator or nominator of a rate or pert entage is small, sampling error may be high. Charts from w approximate sampling errors may be estim and instructions for their use are contained i section “Reliability of Estimates” in Append Definitions of certain terms used in this port are explained in Appendix II. Since man the terms have specialized meanings for the poses of the Survey it is suggested that the rea familiarize himself with these definitions.

The sections of the Survey questionna used to obtain the informaticm presented in report are shown in Appendix III. These are

“illness-recall” questions (11-17); the c lists of chronic conditions and impairme (Cards A and B) used with questions 16 and columns (h), and (r) and (w) used with ques 9 (usual activity status) and associated c C-G of table I of the questionnaire.

Usual activity status was recorded for person as: working, keeping house (females o retired, engaging in school or preschool tivities, or other (doing something else).

activity status was obtained in response the question, “What were you doing mos the past 12 months—

(for males): working or doing someth else?”

(for females): working, keeping house doing something else?”

If the person was 45 years or over and respon

“doing something eIse,” he was asked, “Are retired?” Cards C-F, referred to below, which card was used for each person,

Each person who, in res~onse to the illne recall questions, reported one or more chr conditions was shown one of the four Cards (appropriate to his usual activity status) and a to select the statement which best described in relation to limitation of activity. For child and for persons not present in.the household a time of interview this selection was made b interview respondent. AU persons who limited in the performance c,f the major act for their sex-age group, or who were limite other activities, were further questioned as t degree of limitation of mobility (Card G, Appe III). The categories of limitation of activity mobility are shown in Appendix II.

/

The estimated number of bed-disability days was obtained in response to the following questions in table 1, columns e-h, for each separate illness or injury (acute or chronic) elicited in response to the “illness-recall” questions previously mentioned

population, was reported to have one or more chronic diseases or impairments (tables 1 and 2).

Of these 72 million persons, about 18 million experienced some degree of long-term limitation of activity due to their chronic conditions. Limi- tation of activity indicates some degree of limi- tation in one’s major activity (i.e., ability to work, keep house, or engage in school or preschool activities) or limitation in activities other than his major activity. Included in the 18 million persons with activi~ limitation were some 4.7 million persons whose ability to move about freely was affected to some extent in that they were either confined to the home except in emer- bed all or most of the day? [me dashes

The estimated number of person-days of bed disability was derived from the responses to the third question. In the event that the same bed- disability day may have resulted from more than one illness or injury, the day was counted only once as a day in bed for the person involved.

It should be emphasized that the bed-days shown in this report are not solely those days resulting from chronic illness or impairments, but also days associated with acute illness or injury. An objective of this report is to present data on bed disability experienced by the members of the civilian, noninstitutional population in re- lation to the degree of long-term limitation to which they are subject.

This report deals, for the most part, with persons who have chronic conditions and the effects of such chronic conditions on these per- sons’ activities and ability to move about freely.

Therefore, it is necessary to point out mat the respondents in the household interviews report only those chronic conditions which they know about and are willing to talk about in an inter- view situation. Questionnaire design and inter- viewer training have been aimed at minimizing the effects of respondent

PERSONS BED DISABILITY

During the 4-year period from July 1957- June 1961 an annual average of 72 million persons, or 41.4 percent of the civilian, noninstitutional

gencies, could not get around alone, orhadtrouble getting around alone (table 3).

Sex and Age

The proportion of persons in each age group who had one or more chronic conditions rose steadily with increase in age (fig. 1). In each age group above 15 years, this percentage was greater for females than for males. Similarly, the pro- portion of persons with any degree of limitation of activity or mobility rose with age (fig. 2 and table 4). However, there was no pronounced sex dif-

ference, except that among those whowereunable to carry on their major activity, theratefor males exceeded that for females in all age groups. Among these people the sex difference was more pro- nounced in older age groups. It is probable that inability to work because of chronic illness or impairment is the principal cause of the sex difference.

Table 5 indicates the relationship between activity and mobility limitation among persons with both forms of limitation. The table shows that as the degree of limitation of activity becomes less severe, the associated mobility limitation also becomes less severe. For example, 35.8 percent of the people who were unable to carry on their major activity also were confined to the house, but only 6.2 percent were so confined to the house if the limitation was related only to the amount or kind of major activity.

An estimate of the average number of days spent in bed per year during July 1957-June 1961 was made. If more than one condition caused bed disability on the same day, the bed-day was counted only once for the person, so that the days shown in this report represent person-days of bed disability.

Table 6 shows the average annual numb bed-disability days for several types of pers First, an estimated total of days for all per in the civilian, noninstitutional population; sec the sum of days for perscms with no ch conditions (days associated with acute illnes injury); and the remainder, the sum of day persons with one or more chronic condit (These days may have been causedby acute an chronic disease.) These days were further tributed according to the activity or mo limitation status of the perscns with one or chronic conditions.

During the 4-year period July 1957-June the average person in the total population 6.3 days in bed a year because of illness o jury (table 7). Among those persons who h chronic conditions the bed-clay rate was le 3.0 days. However, those with one or

chronic conditions spent 5.4 days in bed if no limitation of activity or mobility was present and 65.2 days if limitation causing inability to carry on major activity existed (fig. 3). Among persons confined to the house, 131.3 days were spent in bed (fig. 4, tables 8and9).

In general, females experienced more bed disability than did males in each of the limitation categories (compare tables 7 and 9).Anexception to this statement is noted in the mobility limi- tation categories !,Cannot

Among all persons the rate of bed-disability days increased among older persons. However, among persons who reported no chronic con- ditions, the rate declined as age advanced to65

years and then rose among older persons. This pattern is similar to that of the rate of bed disa- bility for all acute conditions (see

Series 10, No. l,table 21). Amongper- sons with one or more chronic conditions the rate of bed-days remained relatively stable during the early and middle years of life and then increased among those 65 years of age and older. However, the components of this group for the various degrees of activity and mobility limitation dis- played differing rates as shown in figures 5 and 6.

Among persons with chronic conditions but with no form of activity limitation, the curve in figure 5 assumes much the same shape as that for per- sons with no chronic conditions. However, among older persons with activity limitations the bed-day rate declined following relatively level rates

The residents in each regionhi~d relatively sim percentages of mobility limitation. The perc ages of persons with either fctrm of chronic tation— activity or mobility— must be interpre with caution as the standard error of each of percentages is quite high. However, the ferences noted for the proportion with one or chronic conditions is statistically significant.

Although residents of the West Region ha highest percentage of persons with one or chronic conditions, chronic conditions did cause as much long-term disability in the W in other regions. The following tabIe show proportion with limitations among those wit or more chronic conditions:

among residents of the South may be seen in table 6 of Series C, No. 5. This table shows the prevalence rates of selected chronic conditions for each region. Conditions with a high prevalence rate in the South have also been reported as causing long-term disability. For example, the rate of visual impairment was quite high in the South; and, as shown in the report

(Series B, No. 36), visual impairments were reported as causing substantial limitation of activity and mobility.

Family Income andl Age

‘The level of family income may be used as a measure of socioeconomic status of the population, and it has been shown that income is related to health status. .For examplej an inverse relation- ship exists between family income and rates of short-term disability, chronic activity limitation, and average length of stay in hospitals. The in- formation presented in this report on activity and mobility limitations again follows this pattern; the proportion of persons chronically limited in- creased as level of income declined (tables 19-22).

The relationship is particularly striking in the family income group under $2,000 where pro- portions of persons with one or more chronic conditions and those with chronic limitations were substantially greater than the corresponding per- centages in higher income classes.

The rates of days spent in bed because of illness among all persons, those with or without chronic illness, and the chronically limited showed much the same general pattern of inverse re- lationship to income (tables 23-26). However, among persons who were “unable to carry on major activity” and those “confined to the house”

this relationship was reversed, with the higher income groups reporting more bed-disability days per person.

Tables 27 and 28 show several interesting items about persons with both activity and mo- bility limitations by family income. Among per- sons who were’ ‘unable to carry on major activity”

the proportion of persons categorized as “confined to the house” and “cannot get around alone” in- creased as family income rose; the percentage declined with income rise among persons with

the lowest degree of mobiliq~ limitation. Am persons with lesser degrees ofactivity limitatio the relationship between the accompanying bility limitation and family income was definite. The bed-day rate rose with family come for persons “unable to carry on m activity” and who were “confined tcs the

Among the other groups the bed-day rates ei fell or remained relatively constant in each come class.

As people become older the prevalence r of persons with chronic conditions and limitati increase (figs. 1 and 2). Because the proportion older persons is greater in the lower inc groups than in other groups. the percentage limited persons is higher in the lower than in upper income classes. Persons 65 years and o comprise approximately 24 percent of the p lation with family income less than $2,000. S the proportion of older persons was considera less in the other income groups, the data were adjusted to remove the effects of the uneven distribution. Age-adjustment, shown in table had the effect of reducing the differences in percentages and bed-day rates among inc classes. However, the inverse relationship n above remains in a number of the categories after age-adjustment.

The measures of long- and short-term d bility are both related to family income. The ca relationship of these factors, disability and nomic status, is difficult to assess. There is l doubt that poor health reduces the opportunity income-producing employment. On the other h reduced income leads to poor nutrition, adequate living accommodatic}ns, and limited of medical care, all of which may lead to illn resulting in temporary or chronic disabil

limitation. However, because of the difference in age distribution of these categories, it is neces- sary to c’ompare the percentages within the same age group. From tables 30 and 32, it can be seen that the proportion with any degree of limitation is approximately the same in each limitation category for each age group, with the exception of persons aged 65 and over among those “living with relatives—other.” The percentage of persons

“unable to carry on major activity” was sub- stantially greater than comparable percentages in groups with other kinds of living arrangements.

It is quite possible that many of these persons established this kind of living arrangement be- cause of the serious nature of their disability.

Comparison of the bed-day rates for groups in each living arrangement category sh that for all persons, and for those with chro conditions, the rates for older persons who w

“living with r=!atives-=ther,: were higher than rates for the other categories% However, am the chronically limited groups the pattern is clearcut; the highest rate is not found consisten in any one living-arrangement’ category. Som the high rates of bed-days noted in other groups may reflect the nature of the chronic ness or impairment causing rke limitation, more severe conditions causing limitation bed disability.
