Internalized age\u2010related stigma has emerged as an important psychosocial factor associated with mental health and well\u2010being among older adults. However, empirical evidence examining its associations with well\u2010being, quality of life, depressive symptoms and perceived social support remains limited, particularly in non\u2010Western cultural contexts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This cross\u2010sectional quantitative study included 139 adults aged 65\u2009years and older attending an internal medicine outpatient clinic. Cognitive eligibility was assessed using the revised Turkish version of the Mini\u2010Mental State Examination. Data were collected through face\u2010to\u2010face interviews. Measures included the Internalized Stigma of Ageing Scale (ISAS), WHO\u20105 Well\u2010Being Index, Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS\u201015), WHO Quality of Life\u2010AGE (WHOQOL\u2010AGE), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Attitudes Towards Ageing Questionnaire.

Internalized stigma was significantly higher among participants who were unemployed and those living alone or with adult children. Internalized stigma was negatively associated with well\u2010being, quality of life and perceived social support, and positively associated with depressive symptoms. Regression analyses indicated that lower well\u2010being, poorer quality of life, higher depressive symptoms and lower perceived social support were significantly associated with higher internalized stigma.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Internalized age\u2010related stigma is a significant psychosocial correlate of mental well\u2010being and quality of life in later life.
