[Futuregen] Feedback on Data Navigator pilot page

[Ricardo Rodrigues]

Dear Stefan,

Thanks a lot for the update. The Data Navigator is already useful in 
making us double-check our variables! :)
You mean the literally called "adl" and "iadl" variables in SHARE? They 
are labelled as "number of limitations with activities of daily living".
This is odd, but we will have time to correct it still - think of what 
you want to say to the SB though.
To be discussed today further.

As for the Data Navigator, I think your suggestion is sufficient for the 
SB presentation of the Navigator. What do you think, Eszter?

Talk to you all soon!
Ricardo

The ready-made ADL variables in SHARE do not measure ADL/IADL in any conventional way. Rather, the ADL measure is an index of indicators of mobility and physical function, while the IADL measure is an index of indicators of both iADLs and bADLs. These are also not the variables used in the previous studies on health trends that we have tried to compare our results to.
