[Decline of competence in aging: an evaluation of the literature on "activities of daily living" and need for nursing care].
The results of a quantitative and qualitative analysis of 36 epidemiological studies on competence in activities of daily living and basic care needs in old age is presented. On the level of basic activities (ADL), the mean portions of elderly people in private households receiving help varied between 1.4% (eating) and 7.7% (bathing). With respect to the "instrumental" activities (IADL) cooking and shopping, the mean percentages were 14.1% and 17.8%, respectively. The mean rate of care needs in the elderly at home amounted to 4.7%. These global scores are further differentiated with respect to person variables (age, sex) and study characteristics (severity of care needs, inclusion of institutionalized elderly).
