摘要:The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of functional disability (FD) in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) and associated factors in elderly Brazilians. This is a cross-sectional study, with a sample of elderly people of both sexes, from the National Health Survey (NHS), 2013. Descriptive statistics and the chi-square test were used, considering statistically significant associations for p < 0,05, and using the SPSS program (version 22). It was observed that the prevalence of FD in IADLs was 17.3%. The factors associated with FD were: age (p<0.001), sex (p<0.001), education (p<0.001), marital status (p<0.001), income (p<0.001), health perception (p<0.001), presence of disease (p<0.001), occurrence of falls in the last 12 months (p<0.001), TV time (p<0.001) and level of physical activity (p<0.001). It is concluded that the prevalence of FD in IADLs in the older adults was not high, and its associated factors were sociodemographic, health and behavioral variables.
