Authors: Eduardo Santana Araujo & Cassia Maria Buchalla
Abstract: The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)1 is a useful tool to know the conditions of the functionality of people, associated or not to any disease, as well as to identify the environmental and personal factors which favor their activities and, consequently, their quality of life. Among the various uses of ICF is its use in populational surveys on health and disability.
