AnnotationThe purpose of this study was to address two issues. Firstly it aimed to investigate whether there are age differences in the prevalence of spiritual struggles. Secondly tests were performed to find out whether age differences exist in the relationship between spiritual struggles and physical health. Data from a recent nationwide survey revealed that younger adults reported that they encountered more spiritual struggles than either middle-aged or older adults. The findings further indicate that the negative relationship between spiritual struggles and health tends to become more pronounced at successively older ages. (JL).
