1. Objectives lder adults face several health and well-being issues [1, 2]. Psychological well-being depends on a variety of factors, including spiritual commitment and religiosity [3-O 5]. Religiosity can improve mental well-being by reducing Death Anxiety (DA). Religion manages the human fear of death by the promise of immortality [6, 7]. Self-compassion is a mediating variable between religion and well-being. It is a recently developed structure that has created a new means of understanding and promoting human well-being [8]. Furthermore, it is necessary to study the relationship between religiosity and well-being in different cultures and religions.
