Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the infl uence of level of education to the self-suffi ciency and mobility in seniors, and to map the prevalence of disability and mobility limitations in both elderly men and women. For this study we compiled a random selection of people over 75 years. Th ey were tested with the “Get up and go“ test to assess their habitual mobility and by using the Barthel index, we set their level of dependence in ADL (activities of daily living). Th rough a personality questionnaire, we obtained personal data on the subjects. Using statistical methods, we compared the data obtained from the tests with the personal data from the researched group. Data is still being obtained and processed, therefore we only have preliminary conclusions.
