Death anxiety among the oldest old in <scp>Germany</scp> . Evidence from the nationally representative ‘ <scp>Old Age</scp> in <scp>Germany</scp> ( <scp>D80</scp> +)’
About one in four individuals had a strong or very strong fear of death during the pandemic. Several sociodemographic, psychosocial, and health-related factors are associated with higher death anxiety. This better understanding of the determinants of death anxiety can be relevant for, among others, the affected individuals, informal and professional carers, as well as friends and relatives.
