- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method In the cross-sectional study, we will examine whether serum bilirubin level is a significant determinant for disability in ADL (transferring, eating, toileting, bathing, clothing) by multivariate analysis. Afterwards, normal ADL patients are followed periodically (1, 2, 3 years later), and as a longitudinal study, we will examine whether serum bilirubin level is a significant predictor for newly onset of disability in ADL by multivariate analysis. We will also determine the cut-off value of serum bilirubin level.
