OBJECTIVE: Determine and measure the association of social factors and health conditions with worse capacity and performance levels. METHODS: Dependent variables consisted of performance and capacity; independent variables comprised age, gender, level of education, personal income, and health conditions. Means (95%CI) of performance and capacity were presented according to the independent variables. Generalized linear models, using a mutual adjustment for all variables considered statistically significant (p < 0.05), measured the associations between each exposure and outcomes. Study population included 12,265 individuals. RESULTS: Older women with lower education and income levels and with some health condition showed the worst performance and capacity. CONCLUSION: Results showed that the capacity and performance levels of the Chilean population changed according to social demographic characteristics and health conditions.
