Method: The sample comprised of 28,854 adults aged \u226560 from the MEPS (2004-2013). Physical function (limitations in basic and instrumental activities of daily living [ADL\/IADL]) and mobility limitations were assessed by self-report. Results: Non-Hispanic Whites (NHWs) represented the majority of the sample followed by non-Hispanic Blacks (NHBs), Hispanic and non-Hispanic Other (Other). For mobility limitation, NHBs had the highest prevalence followed by NHWs and Hispanics (33.3%, 28.6%, and 26.2%, respectively). Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed for the primary outcome of mobility limitation. In the adjusted model, Hispanics had lower odds of mobility limitations (prevalence odds ratio [POR]: 0.78; 95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.67,0.91]) compared with NHWs. For ADL limitations, NHBs had higher odds of having ADLs (POR: 1.87; 95% CI = [1.44, 2.44]) when compared with NHWs. Conclusion: This article evaluated the influence of race and ethnicity, on the prevalence of mobility and functional limitations that are not always consistent with expected racial and ethnic differences.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0733464818780631","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,18]],"date-time":"2018-06-18T03:38:26Z","timestamp":1529293106000},"page":"502-508","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["The
