“…Considering the positive effect that the attitudes toward ageing have on WTL [16][17][18], their potential role in mitigating the negative effect of ageist attitudes on WTL, and the positive effects that the WTL has on health and well-being [1,4], the implementation of such interventions is a promising approach for health promotion programs among older adults. The effectiveness of such interventions can be assessed by examining their impact on older adults' WTL, as it is a unique and important indicator of well-being in old age [1,3,7] that may even predict longevity [5,6]. Additionally, longitudinal studies on the models presented in this cross-sectional are warranted.…”

“…In humans, WTL is considered a marker of subjective well-being, which may outweigh the adversities of life [2]. It has been positively correlated with satisfaction with life, self-esteem, happiness, psychological prosperity, positive affect, gratitude, resilience, and meaning in life [1,3,4]. This concept also has a prognostic value in predicting survival and longevity among older adults.…”

The extent to which older adults’ ageist attitudes associate with their will-to-live has barely been studied. Moreover, whether this effect is moderated by older adults’ age, medical conditions, and attitudes toward their own aging has not been investigated. These associations were examined by two studies. Study 1 examined the relationship between ageist attitudes and will-to-live among individuals aged 48–97, and the moderating roles of age and medical conditions on this connection. Study 2 reassessed this connection in a new sample of older adults (people aged 60–94 years) and examined the moderating role of their attitudes toward aging in this regard. In line with the hypothesis of the first study, ageist attitudes and will-to-live were negatively associated among older adults with more medical conditions. In accordance with the hypotheses of study 2, the ageist attitudes and will-to-live connection was reconstructed, and when regressed on the ageist attitudes × attitudes toward aging interaction, it remained significant only among those with increased ageist attitudes. These findings demonstrate the negative effect that ageist attitudes may have on will-to-live, especially among the very old, and particularly when their health deteriorates, and support the utility of interventions aimed at increasing their will-to-live.

“…Will to live was measured with a 6-category scale from 'no will to live' to 'very strong'. This variable was considered as potential confounder, due to its strong correlation with depression, poor satisfaction of life, and general well-being, negatively impacting self-rated health [43,44].…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study is to examine if neglect is associated with self-rated health (SRH) and if neglect mediates the association between selected factors and self-rated health, among older men and women. The analyses were based on face-to-face computer-assisted personal interviews conducted with 1632 randomly selected community-dwelling individuals aged 65 years and more from among the general population of Lesser Poland. The regression models' analysis revealed that elder neglect was associated with self-rated health, and the mediation analysis demonstrated that neglect mediates the association between frequency of church attendance and SRH, as well as between marital status (being a widower vs being married) and SRH, among men. These observations can be helpful in better understanding of the broad context of elder neglect in order to develop instruments for an efficient improvement of older adults' health and quality of life. In addition to this, the study underlines the role of social networks and social engagement as factors which might protect against neglect, and thus improve selfrated health of older people.

“…will-to-live reflected the well-being of older people and closely associated with health and wellbeing of the elderly [26][27][28][29] . Compared to previous studies on desires and will-to-live focusing on the older people [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], our study had a good sampling frame to achieve the representativeness of the overall population in the country, and by applying plenty of questions that were designed to scrutinize various aspects of people's life and social security issues, we were able to examine the effects of diverse covariates in details.…”

The unprecedented population aging brings profound influences to the social values of longevity. The individual attitudes toward the expended life time deserves scrutiny, as it reflects the impacts of social networks and social welfare on people’s life and wellbeing. This study aims to examine whether and how gender disparity is affecting the individual anticipation to longevity among Japanese citizen. We used the dataset of National Survey on Social Security and Peoples Life implemented in 2017 to calculate the odds ratios (OR) of the individual anticipation to longevity. Besides gender, other demographic characteristics, physical and mental health, the experience of nursing care for the elderly, financial conditions and social networks are examined by performing the multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression analysis. The results indicate the robust effects of gender disparity on the individual aspiration for longevity. The proportion of those who inclined the positive statement on longevity was estimated to be 69.7% (95% CI: 68.6% - 70.9%) in the whole population, and 70.9% (95% CI: 69.4% - 72.5%) and 68.7% (95% CI: 67.1% - 70.2%) in male and female, respectively. Besides gender, independent factors significantly affecting the individual valuation of longevity include age, annual household income, the experience of nursing care, household saving, having a conversation with others and the availability of reliable partner(s) for relevant supports; while the common factors affecting the outcome variable were self-perceived health status and mental distress measured by K6. The interaction of gender and these significant factors were determined as well. In conclusion, with relevant representativeness and quality of data source, this analysis adds knowledge on gender disparity in the individual anticipation on longevity. The findings are suggestive to reform the social security system in the super aged society.
