“…It can be seen that there is a large discrepancy in the prevalence of disability and many factors can influence such rates, such as the sample location, age of participants, the recurrence of CVAs, the time of evaluation and the type of instrument applied. 28 The present study found a higher prevalence of disability among elderly persons aged 80 or more, a result in line with national and international studies, which found that advancing age was associated with functional loss in the elderly population. 8,14,29 Studies evaluating CVA survivors also associated old age with disability.…”
