Assessing Mobility Difficulties for Cross‐National Comparisons: Results from the World Health Organization Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health

Abstract

Although correspondence between an objective and self-reported measure of mobility was generally high, correspondence differed significantly between LMICs. International comparisons of self-reported disability measures for clinical, prevention, and policy guidelines in LMICs should consider that self-reported data may not correspond to objective measures uniformly between countries.
