| Annotation | Research indicates that older people living in run-down neighbourhoods experience more physical health problems than older people who live in more salubrious areas. This study examines whether the deleterious effects of run-down neighbourhoods are reduced for older people who use religious coping responses. Data from a US nationwide longitudinal survey of older people suggest that the noxious impact of living in a dilapidated neighbourhood on changes in self-rated health over time is offset completely for those relying on religious coping strategies. In contrast, significant stress-buffering effects failed to emerge when functional disability served as the outcome measure. (RH). |
