Abstract
A statewide probability sample of 1,625 Massachusetts elderly was studied prospectively over a decade to identify risk profiles for long-term care (LTC) institutionalization. Previous admission to a LTC institution, age, basic ADL disability, and restricted outside mobility were the strongest individual predictors of institutionalization. Examining profiles of risk factors dramatically increased the ability to predict 10-year risk of admission.Entities:
