Abstract: This research examines the health-SES link, specifically as regards the process of disability in older adults as regards difficulty with physical actions. The AHEAD longitudinal survey includes information n physical actions as well as finances and health behaviors. The data offers the opportunity to analyze the specific functional trajectories of the respondents through the first two waves of data collection.
