Presentation: Measured Physical Functioning Index

Kuvaus

The UKK Institute has developed new index to describe physical functioning of Finnish adults. The index is based on FINFIT population-based data, and it offers a multifactorial overview of physical functioning based on measured data. The index includes five components and ten factors representing measured physical functioning.

The presentation material brings together the components and factors of physical functioning measured in the FINFIT study. The material also discusses the development of the index during 2017–2021 and models how the index would change if the contributing factors improved by 20%.
