Abstract

It examines ageism in the context of additional major social positions that older adults experience, such as class, sex, race/ethnicity, rurality, ability, sexual orientation and gender identity, and immigration, but also highlight the cumulative, compounded effects of multiple marginalizations on their health and lived aging experiences, from food and housing security to digital access.
