- Abstract
The gerontological theory of activity developed by Havighurst proposes that the longer the elderly invest in productive activities, the greater their sense of well-being. Therefore, the present study's objective was to evaluate the difficulties for performing daily living instrumental activities of 2,599 older adults of the Hidalgo Mexican state. Results show that more than 90% of the sample did not report difficulties to manage money, although the percentage was lower for difficulties to cook and perform household chores, the percentage of men being higher than that of women. It can be concluded that participation in several activities favors both, women and men, maintaining an active lifestyle, with women more involved in home-care activities.
