Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Functional abilities vary widely among elderly persons. The determinants of this variation are probably multiple and include normal aging processes as well as disease expression. This study estimates the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors to variation in functional abilities in elderly persons. METHODS: We conducted a survey among all Danish twins aged 75 years and older who were...
