Social, health and lifestyle-related determinants of older adults’ preferences for place of death in South Tyrol, Italy – a cross-sectional survey study
End-of-life care preferences among older adults in South Tyrol were associated with socio-demographic, yet not health- and lifestyle-related factors. Recognizing and integrating these preferences is essential for developing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to promote advance care planning and provide effective, patient-centered end-of-life care.
