Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compression of morbidity refers to a decrease in the number of years an older adult spends unhealthy during their lifetime. In other words, instead of living a long life with a lot of chronic illness and disability, individuals are living longer but with fewer years of illness and disability. It is not an increase in chronic disease and disability (A), a decrease in mobility and muscle tone (B), or a decrease in the number of years an older adult spends disease-free (D).
