Sample: 103 elderlies from general population and 80 prisoners. Conclusions: In the study sample, the death anxiety is associated with failure to receive adequate medical care, a situation that makes them more vulnerable to die in prison; in addition, its status as older adults have a higher physical deterioration, which increases in an environment like prison, because of the conditions to which they are exposed. |
