Read Chichun Fang’s post on SRC blog about Mary Beth Ofstedal’s recent articles examining the association between religiosity and health. “In two recent papers, one published in the Journals of Gerontology: Social Sciences and the other in SSM Population Health, SRC researcher Mary Beth Ofstedal and her colleagues show that religiosity improves life expectancy in the U.S. They also show that the association between religiosity and health varies across countries with different social institutions around the world.”
