A series of three studies were conducted in order to predict outcomes related to disability in the oldest-old. In each of the studies, the Disablement Process model (Verbrugge & Jette, 1994) provided the theoretical basis for selecting demographic, physiological, and psychosocial variables as predictors of disablement. The first study in the series included participants from the NONA study who were aged 86, 90, or 94 (N= 149) living in one Swedish municipality in 1999. Participants were interviewed in their places of residence (homes or nursing homes) by trained nurses and they responded to questions about their demographic characteristics, health, social networks, and psychological well-being, and also completed tests of physical functioning, such as grip strength and chair stands. This cross-sectional analysis examined the structure of the Disablement Process model by testing the direct and mediating relationships between the risk factors, psychosocial factors, functional limitations, functional impairments, and disability outcomes as defined by the Disablement Process model.

520 $a A series of three studies were conducted in order to predict outcomes related to disability in the oldest-old. In each of the studies, the Disablement Process model (Verbrugge & Jette, 1994) provided the theoretical basis for selecting demographic, physiological, and psychosocial variables as predictors of disablement. The first study in the series included participants from the NONA study who were aged 86, 90, or 94 (N= 149) living in one Swedish municipality in 1999. Participants were interviewed in their places of residence (homes or nursing homes) by trained nurses and they responded to questions about their demographic characteristics, health, social networks, and psychological well-being, and also completed tests of physical functioning, such as grip strength and chair stands. This cross-sectional analysis examined the structure of the Disablement Process model by testing the direct and mediating relationships between the risk factors, psychosocial factors, functional limitations, functional impairments, and disability outcomes as defined by the Disablement Process model.
520 $a The second study in this series used the Disablement Process model to predict the onset of disability in the OCTO-Twin sample. OCTO-Twin is a sample of Swedish monozygotic and dizygotic same-sex twins aged 79 and older who were followed longitudinally for eight years. Similar to the procedures used in NONA, these participants were interviewed in their places of residence by trained nurses and they responded to oral questions as well as performed tests of physical ability. The current analyses used only one twin randomly selected from each twin pair and excluded anyone with disability at baseline (N = 260). The sample was then divided into two groups: those that transitioned into a disabled state over the course of the study (N = 93), and those that did not develop disability in activities of daily living (N = 167). Utilizing a synthetic cohort design and a series of logistic regression models, this study used risk factors, functional impairments, functional limitations, and psychosocial variables from waves of data prior to the onset of disability to predict whether the participant transitioned into a state of disability at subsequent waves.
520 $a Finally, in the third study of the series, the NONA sample from study one was followed longitudinally over four years, and variables from the Disablement Process model at baseline were used to predict group membership into three different groups of longitudinal disability outcomes. Based on work by Johnson and Barer (1997), these groups were defined as: Functional Survivors (those with no disability at all waves), Increasingly Disabled (those that transitioned into a disabled state over time), and Chronically Disabled (those that were disabled at all waves).
