Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Functional impairment and disability in old age are major health problems that are not well studied in Mexican Americans who are likely to be immigrants and to live in poverty the majority of their lives. Moreover, nativity and socioeconomic position (SEP) over the life course interact and influence late life health status and disability. The Sacramento Area Latino Study on Aging (SALSA) study is a cohort of 1789 older Mexican Americans that was actively followed from 1998 to 2008. Activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living (ADL and IADL) were measured annually during this period. Health conditions were measured annually as well. Functional disabilities increased most rapidly in US born women compared to immigrant women and men. Those participants whose SEP trajectory remained high throughout life experienced the lowest increase in ADL or IADL impairment compared to those who were always low. Exposure to the US environment may adversely affect women more than men and US born more than Mexican-born.
