Description
Kafayat Mahmoud, Jarron Saint Onge, and David Ekerdt study how taking part in formal group life relates to care at the end of life. Their 2023 paper follows older adults in the United States. It asks whether people who stayed active in groups over time got better rated care near death, and whether the pattern differs for women and men.
The team found four paths of group activity, all tending to fall over time. People with higher levels of activity got more positive ratings of their end-of-life care from family proxies. Yet women were less likely than men to get positive ratings, even with higher activity levels. Health care factors, more than activity paths, explained that gap, which the authors read as a sign that active social life and good care help older men more.
