Abstract

Frail, homebound, and bedridden people (FHBP) are people living at home whose daily life is physically limited to the boundary of their houses because of their ongoing health, energy, and psychosocial or socio-functional impairments. This definition needs a scientific, systematic, and data-driven view of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and adverse events experienced by FHBP. Thus, we piloted a big data epidemiology approach (Multiple Correspondence Analysis and data visualization) from 300 survey responses about FHBP experiences and identified a positive correlation between perceived health status and reported impairments.
