Exploring the Relationship Between Healthy Aging Advice and Spirituality Content

Do people who are interested in advice for how to slow aging or stay healthy into old age also tend to be interested in or enjoy content related to religion or spirituality? Is there a noticeable association between seeking healthy aging tips and consuming religion or spirituality content across different stages of adulthood? When someone frequently looks up how to stay healthy into old age, do they also commonly search for or engage with religious or spiritual material? For instance, perhaps both interests cluster because they reflect a broader focus on long-term meaning, personal wellbeing, and life planning, although it’s also plausible that these interests are largely independent and simply coexist for different reasons. Understanding whether healthy aging interest is linked with religion or spirituality interest can be important for designing messages, communities, and resources that resonate with how people actually think about aging and wellbeing.

Study participants were asked to what extent they agree with the statement "I am interested in advice for how to slow aging or stay healthy into old age" and also to what extent they agree with the statement "I am interested in or enjoy content related to religion or spirituality".
