- Abstract
This study aims to analyze the influence of chronic conditions and chronic diseases on elderly mobility function in Indonesia using the panel data of IFLS 3, IFLS 4, and IFLS 5. The sample is a balanced panel of elderly aged 60 and above in IFLS 5, who have completed retrospective information and can be traced back since IFLS 3. This study uses the random-effects ordered logistic models. The self-assessed health status, marital status, residence area, working status, body mass index, education, gender, and age are used as covariates. The results suggest that the elderly probability of experiencing limited mobility function is increasing with age; while chronic conditions and chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and stroke significantly affect the impairment of mobility function of the elderly in Indonesia. Other covariates also have significant effects on elderly mobility function, except for residence area and marital status variables
