A total of 142 community-dwelling older adults participated with 72 frontier and 70 rural county respondents. Participant sites were identified through the Division of Aging in Wyoming. The survey consisted of demographic questions, the Katz ADL Index, and Lawton Brody’s IADL Scale. The aim of the study was to identify similarities and differences between the two cohorts on ADL and IADL functional disability along with respondent characteristics. A chi-square test of independence showed no significant association between rural and frontier respondents and the number of ADL disabilities reported, X2 (4, N = 142) = 2.18, p = .70, or in the number of IADL functional disabilities, X2 (6, N = 142) = 2.67, p = .84. A larger number of frontier residing older adults reported being widowed than rural older respondents. No significant association was evident between rural and frontier respondents and who they lived with at the time of survey, X2 (4, N = 142) = 2.77, p = .59. However, those in frontier counties were more likely to be living alone with limited ADL functional disparity, X2 (8, N = 142) = 21.9, p \u003C  \n.005. Rural older adults reported higher levels of education associated with few functional disabilities. These and additional findings offer insight into the aging experiences of both groups.","cbCaidaJxCbsq0yw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidaJxCbsq0yw","pdf",733010,"English","# Study Aim and Population\n# Measures and Survey Design\n## Katz ADL Index\n## Lawton Brody IADL Scale\n# Statistical Findings\n## ADL Disability Association\n## IADL Functional Disability Association\n# Interpretation and Key Observations","[{\"question\":\"What was the study aim regarding ADL and IADL disability?\",\"answer\":\"To identify similarities and differences between frontier and rural older adult cohorts in functional disability related to ADL and IADL, along with respondent characteristics.\"},{\"question\":\"How were ADL and IADL functional disability measured?\",\"answer\":\"ADL disability was measured using the Katz ADL Index, and IADL functional disability was measured using Lawton Brody’s IADL Scale, alongside demographic questions.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the chi-square tests show about rural versus frontier differences?\",\"answer\":\"No significant association was found between rural and frontier respondents for the number of ADL disabilities (X2(4, N=142)=2.18, p=.70) or the number of IADL functional disabilities (X2(6, N=142)=2.67, p=.84).\"},{\"question\":\"Were any differences observed in respondent characteristics or living situation?\",\"answer\":\"Frontier residents were more likely to be widowed, and those in frontier counties were more likely to be living alone, with limited ADL functional disparity.
