This study developed an Older Persons' Index of Multiple Deprivation (OPIMD) specifically for New Zealanders aged 65 and over by combining 22 indicators across six deprivation domains to create an individual-level measure. Validated using smoking data and mapped geographically, the OPIMD offers a tailored tool to better inform resource allocation and policy decisions for the older population, with further research needed to explore its links to health and social outcomes.
