A total of 90 older adults were selected by total enumeration samplingmethod. For the evaluation of study participants, we used The World Health Organization Disability Assessment2.0 (WHODAS II) (36 items). This questionnaire examines the person’s disability in 6 domains ofcognition, mobility, self-care, getting along, life activities, and social participation. The depression statuswas determined by Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15), cognitive status by Abbreviated Mental test(AMT), and morale of older people by Lawton’s Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale. The Chisquaretest, Independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis, and the Spearman correlationcoefficient were carried out to analyze the data. Results:The mean (SD) score of older adults’ disability was 20.61 (13.66) indicating a significant difference betweenmen and women (P=0.001). The women’s mean disability score was higher than that of men.With regard to 6 domains of disability, the highest disability was seen in domains of mobility, life activities,and participation. There were also significant differences between men and women with regardto the mean disability scores of mobility (P=0.001), life activities (P=0.001), and participation (P=0.005),i.e., the mean disability scores of women were higher than those of men.
