Question 12. Are you limited completely or seriously in basic activities of daily life (up to your age) because of disability or chronic illness? [p. 34]
1. Answer for question 12 is subjective; reflects the feelings of the enumerated person or a parent of the person when the respondent is a child. The enumerator should not influence the answer even if the person declares no limitation when being seriously disabled.
2. basic activities of daily life (up to the age) are:
For infants -- correct reaction (crying, smiling etc.),
For children aged 2-6 -- ability to play together with another children,
For schoolchildren -- attending school and being able to participate in every lesson;
For productive age persons -- ability to learn, work or do housework;
For older persons -- self-service e.g. preparing food, dressing, washing themselves.
3. In the question two different levels of being limited are distinguished: 1. yes, completely or 2. yes, seriously. In both cases the answer should apply to long lasting limitation -- i.e. longer than 6 months.
