As people age can religiosity play an active role in later-life health?

On-going population aging and increasing longevity has intensified the focus on behavioral and modifiable factors that can promote later-life health. Within this context, religiosity has emerged as a significant area of interest due to its associations with various health outcomes, including morbidity, psychological well-being, recovery from illness, and mortality. Reviewing these factors this paper, “Linking Multi-Dimensional Religiosity in Childhood and Later Adulthood: Implications for Later Life Health,” by Sara I. Hamm, Zachary Zimmer, and Mary Beth Ofstedal was published in Sage Journals, August 1, 2024. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01640275241267298
