Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has consistently shown that women report higher levels of both ADL (Activities of Daily Living) and IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) limitations compared to men. ADL limitations refer to difficulties with basic self-care tasks such as bathing, dressing, and eating, while IADL limitations refer to difficulties with more complex tasks such as managing finances, using the telephone, and grocery shopping.
