Abstract
The world’s population is aging due to declining birth rates and increasing life expectancy. In Indonesia, it was initially projected that by the year 2020 the number of elder is 11.3% of the total population. Unfortunately, the increase in life expectancy among elderly is not always accompanied by a high quality of life or welfare due to physical weakness (physical frailty). The present study is a seminal project assessing factors contributed to welfare among elderly both cognitively and physically, namely the assessment of activities in daily living (ADL), executive functioning status, nutritional status in particular protein intake. Previous studies have been primarily investigating functional status among elder living in cities, therefore in this study we investigated differences of factors attributable to cognitive and physical status among elder who live in big city and rural area. Participants of the current study were 17 elderly (12 reside in city, and 5 reside in rural area), as due to CoViD-19 outbreak we could not gather more data as expected. We hypothesized that elderly who reside in rural areas were more active, cognitively intact and exposed to nutritious diet compared with their counterparts who reside in city. Several measures were employed to assess ADL, executive function (Trail Making A & B, Five Point Test, Stroop Color Test, and Digit Span), and nutrition/protein intake. Statistical analysis using non-parametric Mann-Whitney Test revealed support of the hypothesis that ADL among elderly who live in city and rural area was significantly different (Z= -2.083, p< .05), with elderly living in rural areas better performed (M=12.5) in ADL than elderly living in city (M= 7.5). However, we found no significant differences on both status of executive functions and nutritional/protein intake among these two groups
