Abstract
Although the use of self-reported ADL (activity of daily living) scales has a long history, the Katz-based assumptions of unidimensionality and hierarchy are increasingly found lacking, and ADLs alone are found to underestimate dysfunction and disability. Data from nearly 8900 elderly respondents in the community sample of the 1991 Canadian Study of Health and Aging were used to examine the measurement properties of a modified version of the Older Americans Research Survey (OARS) ADL and IADL items combined. A multidimensional factor structure was revealed, with three levels of functional ability possessing internal consistency. We conclude that assumptions regarding ADL/IADL unidimensionality and hierarchy are not always valid, and that ADL and IADL items should be considered in combination to capture a greater range of functional disability prevalence. We also suggest that expectations of precise measurement of functional dependence by (I)ADL scales should perhaps be relaxed to the goal of simply differentiating broad levels of self-reported functioning (such as basic, intermediate, and complex), within which some tasks are roughly equivalent. Because these scales are widely used as screening tools and in shaping policy, we suggest that employing a more empirically grounded measurement standard has the potential to reduce bias due to item complexity and task specificity, facilitate standardization, and more reliably predict outcomes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
