Dependence in Activities of Daily Living and Cognitive Impairment Strongly Predicted Mortality in Older Urban Residents in Brazil: A 2‐Year Follow‐Up

To identify a set of predictors of mortality among residents in the community, before any physical, biochemical, or image examination is performed, that could be collected on a routine standardized basis, to help the clinician define a patient follow‐up strategy and the health planner make decisions regarding the care of older people.
