“…Studies suggest that activation of negative stereotypes in older adults can have harmful effects on self-perception of health, associated with physical and mental deterioration (Coudin & Alexopoulos, 2010; Kotter-Grühn & Hess, 2012; Kotter-Grühn et al, 2015). At the same time, these effects can contribute to dependency behaviors and promote greater feelings of loneliness, low levels of extraversion, and limitations to take risks (Lira et al, 2019). Perceived discrimination in older adults has been reported to be associated with increased symptoms of depression, worse self-rated health, functional limitations, chronic diseases, and increased risk of mortality (Barnes et al, 2008; Swift et al, 2017).…”

“…There are several studies on discrimination exposure linked to other health outcomes. For example, discrimination has been associated with different adverse health outcomes in older adults, such as poor self-perception of health, increased symptoms of depression, chronic diseases (Jackson et al, 2019), greater feelings of loneliness (Coudin & Alexopoulos, 2010; Kotter-Grühn & Hess, 2012; Kotter-Grühn et al, 2015; Lira et al, 2019), functional limitations (Swift et al, 2017), increased mortality (Barnes et al, 2008), and inferior kidney function (Cobb et al, 2020). Thus, there is a gap in the literature around the relationship between discrimination and falls in older adults.…”

Objective To assess the relationship between discrimination and falling among older people. Methods A cross-sectional nationwide population-based face-to-face survey, 2015. The SABE ( Salud, Bienestar y Envejecimiento) Colombia Study, 19,004 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years. Recurrent falling was defined as ≥2 falls during the prior year. Main independent variable was discrimination. Results Multivariate logistic regression models showed that recurrent falling was significantly associated with a number of reasons for experiences of everyday discrimination (due to racial, socioeconomic status, gender, age, religion, sexual orientation, or disability) (OR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.21–1.33), childhood discrimination score (never = 0 to many times = 3) (OR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.13–1.33), and number of situations for discrimination during the last 5 years due to skin color (group activities, public places, inside the family, or health centers) (OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.08–1.17). Discussion Discrimination experiences were associated with higher odds of recurrent falling.

“…In that line, increased education about the aging process could help reduce anxiety and stereotypes against the aged [ 44 ]. This study contributes to the emerging evidence provided by Latin American [ 19 , 45 ] and national [ 46 ] studies that analyze the attitude towards older people in university students. This study provides national information about attitudes towards older people from university students according to sociodemographic and educational variables, becoming the most current evidence that accounts for the attitude towards aging of Chilean university students.…”

et al. 2022

Current evidence suggests that attitude towards older people may be associated with sociodemographic and educational variables; hence, a positive attitude towards older people is key when training new university professionals. However, there is little evidence of this association in Chilean university students. The objective was to analyze students from a Chilean university’s attitudes towards older people, according to sociodemographic and educational variables. Analytical and cross-sectional study; 515 students from a Chilean university were consulted online about their attitude towards older people using Kogan’s Attitudes towards Old People scale. Additionally, sociodemographic and educational variables were recorded. The average score for positive attitude was 70.8 (±9.7), while the negative attitude score was 68.3 (±11.6). The total score was 139.1 (±16.6). Mostly, university students perceive themselves with a low-level positive attitude (61.2%). Additionally, older university students (26–42 years old); women; Chileans; students of law, speech therapy, and occupational therapy; students in their final years of the programs; and those who had training in older people outside the university have a more positive attitude towards older people. In Conclusion, a profile of sociodemographic and educational characteristics of students with a lower and higher attitude towards older age was investigated. These results are relevant since the way of seeing the aging process could regulate the training of future professionals and consequently generate changes in dealing with older people. Young people’s perception of ageing would affect the treatment and incorporation of the older people in society and the adaptation of policies in this age group.

La siguiente investigación fue realizada con el objetivo de determinar las actitudes que tienen los estudiantes universitarios hacia los adultos mayores y su relación con ciertas variables demográficas (contacto con adultos mayores, calidad del contacto, edad y sexo). Se realizó la investigación en una muestra de 163 estudiantes universitarios, 129 estudiantes de la UTN y 34 de la UNIBE. Se aplicó el cuestionario CENVE (Cuestionario de Estereotipos Negativos hacia la Vejez) en la versión revisada por Menéndez Álvarez-Dardet et al. (2016).
