The key take away from the article is that in areas with a more negative bias towards older people, the older people still live longer than in areas with less bias towards older people.
BUT the real importantance is probably in this:
In addition, “communities with higher explicit age bias also had higher rates of exercise…, better general health…, and more days of good mental health,” the paper states.
These findings point to potential pathways through which ageist communities may promote health.
However, the researchers also note that factors they were unable to examine, such as better medical care and more green spaces, may also explain associations of community age bias with better health.
