Final answer:

The percentage of elderly people reporting limitations in ADLS and IADL is not mentioned specifically, but there is an increase in functional impairments and chronic diseases in this population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of people over age 65 who report at least one limitation in Activities of Daily Living (ADLS) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) is not specifically mentioned in the provided information.

However, the Administration on Aging found that from 2006 to 2008, the most frequently reported health issues for those over sixty-five years old included arthritis (50 percent), hypertension (38 percent), heart disease (32 percent), and cancer (22 percent).

While the trend is towards steady improvement in most disability measures, there is an increase in functional impairments (disability) and chronic diseases.
