Abstract
Religion's effects upon well‐being in later life should be considered separately from other points in the life span because older persons demonstrate the highest levels of religious participation of any age group, religious institutions frequently offer services of various kinds to elders, and religious traditions articulate values about aging that support well‐being. Although it has been suggested that religion can sometimes adversely affect the well‐being of older people, many empirical studies find a salutary effect of religion on late‐life well‐being. Findings about religion's positive effects upon older adults' well‐being have implications for social service agencies, long‐term care facilities, educational institutions, health care services, and congregations.
