Description topics

Functional limitations
Functional limitations are observed in the module 'Health and Labour
Conditions' of the Integrated System of Social Surveys in 3 groups of
questions:
a. The OECD indicator for persons in the age category 12 years and older
b. The GDA (General Daily Activities) indicator for persons in the age
category 55 and older.
c. Temporary activity limitations and bed days for persons of all ages.
Limitation of activities and bed days
Question: Did you depart from your daily routine during the last 2 weeks
because of illness or injury? If so, how many days? Did you have to stay
in bed? If so, how many days? Multiplication by 26 provides data on an
annual basis [26 periods of 14 days = 1 year].
Limitation of activities per 14 days
Percentage of persons whose activities are limited per 14 days.
Percentage of persons (0+) who answered 'yes' to the question: Did you
depart from your daily routine during the last 2 weeks because of illness
or injury?
Limitation of activities per year
Days with limitation of activities per year. The figures refer to
averages. Question: How many days during the last fortnight was your
activity reduced by illness or injury? Multiplication by 26 provides
figures on an annual basis.
The figures refer to persons in the age category 1 year and older.
Hence, the age category 0-11 only covers persons in the age category 1-11.
Persons with bed days per 14 days
Percentage of persons with bed days per 14 days.
Percentage of persons (0+) who answered 'yes' to the question: Did you
depart from your daily routine during the last 2 weeks because of illness
or injury? and 'yes' to the question: Were there any days during this
period that you stayed in bed for the most part of the day or the whole
day?
Bed days per year
Bed days per year.
Days with limitation of activities per year. The figures refer to
averages. Question: How many days during the last fortnight was your
activity reduced by illness or injury? Bedridden patients are not taken
into account. Multiplication by 26 yields figures on an annual basis.
The figures refer to persons in the age category 1 year and older.
Hence, the age category 0-11 only covers persons in the age category 1-11.
