Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research is to determine the influence of level of education to the self-sufficiency and mobility in seniors, and to map the prevalence of disability and mobility limitations in both elderly men and women. For this study we compiled a random selection of people over 75 years. They were tested with the “Get up and go“ test to assess their habitual mobility and by using the Barthel index, we set their level of dependence in ADL (activities of daily living). Through a personality questionnaire, we obtained personal data on the subjects.
