Exploring the Intersectionality of Place and Gender Among Older Adults in Ghana: An Examination of Women's Disability Disadvantage.

Women, regardless of urban or rural residence, were especially vulnerable to ADL disability. Marital status, particularly widows, explained the difference in disability risk between urban men and urban women. This finding suggests that urban women's risk of ADL disability is attenuated during the partnership. Also, we speculate that varied morbidity associations with ADL disability are due to different stressors in urban versus rural environments. These findings also generate further interest in about rural women's disability disadvantage.
