Summary: Insufficient and excessive nocturnal sleep duration were both associated with increased risk of functional disability in middle-aged and elderly Chinese. Higher degree of nocturnal sleep changes also increased the probability of functional disability.

Summary: A Swedish study compared the ADL/IADL disability rates of three 85-year-old birth cohorts born three decades apart, finding that later born cohorts had lower disability rates. Although factors associated with disability varied between cohorts, dementia and depression increased the odds of disability across all cohorts.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the impact of brain regions associated with activities of daily living (ADL) in PCA patients. The results showed that PCA patients had lower total ADL, BADL, and IADL scores, which were associated with hypometabolism in bilateral parietal lobes. These findings have potential implications for the application of noninvasive neuromodulatory interventions.

Summary: The study found that patients with breast cancer had greater difficulty performing IADL compared to other types of cancer patients. Additionally, neuropsychological scores were predictors of IADL, with greater disability in patients associated with lower neuropsychological performance. Optimal neuropsychological functioning was found to be connected with better ability in performing IADL.

Summary: The study suggests that self-reported ADL impairments assessed by the FAQ are related to the severity of cognitive impairment in PD, showing moderate specificity in differentiating cognitive status in PD patients.

Summary: This study aims to assess the ability of older adults in handling ICT as part of their instrumental activities in daily living. The results show that the Advanced Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (AIADL) scale is a valid and reliable instrument to measure this ability. The study also explores how functional and social background affects older adults' independence.

Summary: Non-invasive, non-pharmacological interventions utilizing virtual reality (VR) can enhance cognitive function in patients with degenerative cognitive disorders. VR applications that integrate cognitive-motor tasks and simulate instrumental activities of daily living (iADLs) activate specific brain areas and foster improvements in general cognition, executive function, attention, and memory.

Summary: This review aimed to identify the digital methods and metrics used to assess IADL-related behaviors in people with MCI and report any statistically significant differences in digital endpoints between MCI and normal aging and how these digital endpoints change over time. Ambient technology was the most commonly used digital method to assess IADL-related behaviors in the included studies, with passive infrared motion sensors and contact sensors being the most prevalent types. However, there were inconsistent findings around differences in digital IADL endpoints across the cognitive spectrum, with limited longitudinal assessment of how they changed over time.

Summary: This study describes the development and testing of the EEADLs scale, which assesses emotional experiences in daily activities. The results support the internal consistency of the scale and suggest a relationship between emotional ratings and task complexity.

Summary: The study aimed to determine the level of limitations in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living among elderly individuals with severe aortic stenosis. The results indicated that a history of heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, physical function, and cognitive decline were significantly related to declines in instrumental activities of daily living.

Summary: This study found that multimorbidity increased the likelihood of developing activities of daily living (ADL) disability in middle-aged and older women, partially through the mediation of depressive symptoms. The results emphasize the importance of focusing on mental wellness in females with multimorbidity to prevent impairments in physical function.

Summary: This study identified 19 discrete IADL tools developed, validated, or adapted for use in low- and middle-income countries for older adults with dementia or cognitive impairment. The diagnostic accuracy of these tools was found to be moderate to good, highlighting the importance of considering cultural appropriateness, efficiency, and gender- and literacy-bias when selecting IADL tools for dementia diagnosis in LMICs. There is a need for further technical and external validation of IADL tools across different regions, countries, populations, and cultures.

Summary: Cancer-related long-term complications are increased in pediatric cancer survivors (PCSs). This study investigates the relationship between cancer-related fatigue and daily living activities (DLAs) in PCS. Fatigue was assessed using PedsQL Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS) and visual analog scale (VAS), while DLA was evaluated using WeeFIM. The results show a significant relationship between VAS fatigue score and WeeFIM total score, indicating the impact of fatigue on DLA.

Summary: This study explored the experiences of work and work incapacity among long-term stroke survivors through individual semi-structured interviews. The results highlighted the impact of work on everyday life and the need for a flexible approach in supporting return to work as part of daily life after stroke.
