摘要

This symposium consists of four papers that employ robust data from different countries worldwide to examine associations between religiosity and health among older persons. Globally, older persons are experiencing gains in life expectancy. Whether gains represent healthy years is in dispute. External factors such as advances in treatments contribute to healthy aging, but evidence suggests factors internal to the individual are also influential. One such, religiosity, is increasingly recognized as a potential contributor to longer and healthier lives. Although there is wide intra-country variation in the percent that report being religious, religion is a component in the lives of a great many older persons in most countries. Moreover, evidence shows older persons engage in religious activity more frequently than younger. Given the ubiquity of religiosity in lives of elders globally, we can learn much by examining associations in international and cross-cultural perspective. Chiu et al. investigate religious activity, life and active life expectancy across a number of European countries, whilst Saito et al. report similar analyses but for Singapore, a country with diverse cultural and religious populations. Cartwright reports on aging immigrants in the U.S., representing a wide range of cultural and religious traditions. Taking the discourse to the cellular level, Hill et al. examine biomarker data from the U.S., linking religiosity and telomere length, while exposing potential intervening mechanisms. Together, these papers provide a contemporary and methodologically advanced evaluation of religiosity’s role in health and aging within and across national and cultural environments.
