Note: The percentages of the population with an independent living difficulty or a self-care difficulty are presented separately. These percentages should not be added together, since persons with a self-care difficulty are generally a subset of those with an independent living difficulty and therefore would be double-counted. The broadest measure is provided by independent living difficulty.
