Future research should focus on stratified analysis by sex. Knowing the predictors of institutionalization for men and women could influence long-term care management remarkably.
Statistics on people with limited daily living skills should be included in publications and reports so that the need for care and assistance can be estimated more precisely.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
