Prevalence of Mobility Difficulty in Elderly Populations

Adjusted prevalence percentages measure the share of persons aged 65 or older experiencing some degree of mobility difficulty. The dataset is produced by the Disability Data Hub (DDH) and hosted by the World Bank. Its temporal and geographic coverage are not specified.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in mobility_difficulty_prevalence across different countries and years.
• Correlate elderly mobility difficulty with national demographic indicators like age_structure or urbanization_rate.
• Model the impact of healthcare_access or social_protection policies on mobility_difficulty_prevalence over time.
• Benchmark country-level performance on elderly mobility against regional or income-group averages.

Strengths

• Focuses on a standardized metric (adjusted prevalence percentage) for cross-country comparison.
• Produced by a specialized organization (Disability Data Hub) within a major international data platform.

Limitations

• The specific number of countries, years of coverage, and row count are unknown.
• Lack of column details prevents assessment of granularity and potential covariates.
