Description
Yaakov Hoffman, Ehud Bodner, Susanna Cohen, and Amit Shrira wrote this 2024 study of older adults in hospital care. The team asked whether two things shape later health: how staff treat older patients, and how patients view their own aging. Both factors are common in wards where most patients are over 65.
The team followed 54 patients, with an average age of about 76, across four rounds of checks. Patients who met more ageist treatment felt less pleased with their care and rated their health worse four months later. Part of that link ran through a shift in how patients saw their own aging. The authors say training staff to drop ageist habits could help patients and cut costs.
