| description | Background : Discrimination against old age
leads to depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem. This
issue is not studied in the Lebanese society where a demographic
transition is taking place and the population is aging.
We assess the perception of age discrimination among Lebanese
and its relation to self-esteem. Methods : We interviewed
a convenience sample of 320 Lebanese elders (mean
age 69. 3 years ± 6. 2 ; 55 % males) living in an urban setting
(Beirut) and a rural setting (Ras-Baalbeck) a well as those
who immigrated to Dakar using a preestablished questionnaire.
Perception of age discrimination and socio-demographic
information were collected ; self-esteem was measured using
the Toulouse scale. Results : More elders living in Beirut
(OR = 9. 7, 95 % CI = 3. 5-26. 6) and Ras-Baalbeck (OR = 11. 42,
95 % CI = 3. 95-33. 1) perceived age-related discrimination
than those living in Dakar. This perception was significantly
associated to lower self-esteem (OR = 2. 2, 95 % CI = 1. 3-3. 6).
Conclusion : Supporting emotionally vulnerable elders should
be a target for policy makers in Lebanon. It is important to
preserve a better quality of life for elders still playing a major
role in families |
