Abstract

Date Presented 4/20/2018

Hispanic adults demonstrated significant disability progression from 2006 to 2009. Characteristics independently associated with disability progression included dementia, hypertension, sex, and older age. Findings can inform clinical decision making and future research directions in aging studies.
