Notes:
1) ADL= (Basic) Activities of Daily Living
The symbol '.' shall be deemed as data which is not collected
 The symbol '..' shall be deemed as data which cannot be given due to an insufficient sample
 The symbol '...' shall be deemed as an error of division by zero
 The data corresponding to cells with fewer than 35 thousand persons must be considered with caution, as they may be affected by a high degree of sampling error.
