Abstract

This scoping review, drawing on the public health framework for healthy ageing, will examine, personal, health and environmental factors associated with attitudes towards death and dying in persons 50 years and older. It will help to understand the extent and nature of evidence on this topic, summarize findings, and identify research gaps. It may serve as a basis for more systematic analysis of the literature.
