273 Investigating disparities in mobility and physical health across the Rural South to inspire change by Kenneth Harrison, Brandon M. Peoples, Keven G. Santamaria-Guzman, David Redden, Jaimie A. Roper

“…Importantly, initial analyses reveal a significant correlation between higher area deprivation index (ADI) scores and reduced mobility performance, supporting our hypothesis that socioeconomic factors influence physical function. We anticipate further findings, including more detailed relationships between ADI and specific mobility parameters (e.g., gait speed and balance), associations between ADI and poorer physical health measures (e.g., increased arterial stiffness and decreased muscle mass), and interrelationships between mobility impairments and cardiovascular health markers Discussion/Significance of Impact: Building vital relationships with rural communities while uncovering critical links between mobility and physical health. …”
