Older adults gradually decrease their independence with activities of daily living (ADL) due to aging. The coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), the recent pandemic, can accelerate the decline in functions, such as ADL. This study aimed to examine whether there is an association between positive COVID-19 results and decreased independence with ADL in older adults. Data for a total of 3,118 older adults were extracted from the 2020 National Health and Aging Trends Study-COVID-19. A total of 71 (2.29%) participants presented with positive COVID-19 tests. There was a significant association between a positive COVID-19 result and decreased independence with ADL (relative risk [RR] = 1.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [1.11, 1.96], = .0079). The study findings revealed that COVID-19 survivors had a high risk of decreased independence with ADL. These findings indicate that COVID-19 survivors have residual functional deficits and would need comprehensive health care services.
老年人随着年龄的增长，日常生活活动（ADL）的独立性逐渐下降。最近的大流行 COVID-19 会加速 ADL 等功能的下降。本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 阳性结果与老年人日常生活活动独立性下降之间是否存在关联。从 2020 年国家健康老龄化趋势研究-COVID-19 中提取了总共 3118 名老年人的数据。共有 71 名（2.29%）参与者的 COVID-19 检测呈阳性。COVID-19 阳性结果与日常生活活动独立性下降之间存在显著关联（相对风险 [RR] = 1.47，95%置信区间 [CI] = [1.11，1.96]， =.0079）。研究结果表明，COVID-19 幸存者日常生活活动独立性下降的风险较高。这些发现表明 COVID-19 幸存者存在残留的功能缺陷，需要全面的医疗保健服务。
