Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assess things like bathing, eating, dressing, walking across a room, and getting out of bed. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) include preparing a meal, shopping, using a telephone, taking medication, and handling money. Limitations with these fundamental life tasks can indicate fairly severe disability. A third set of measures evaluates less critical tasks but ones which might also bear on work ability. They include things like jogging a mile, walking up a flight of stairs, pushing a heavy object across the floor, and picking up a coin. Figure 1-3 shows the percent of people with one or no work limitations and the percent working within four age categories. Over the ages when most people retire, the proportion with one or no limitations is very high.
