Introduction: Ageism refers to stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we behave) towards others or ourselves based on age. It is believed that every other person in the world has some negative attitudes towards the elderly. Objective: To examine whether there is a difference in ageism and quality of life of respondents according to gender, age, marital status, number of children and level of education and to examine whether there is a connection between ageism and quality of life of respondents. Study Design: Cross – sectional study. Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was used as a research instrument, which was formulated for the purposes of this research based on the read literature. Results: The difference in ageism was observed according to age, with significantly higher levels of ageism in respondents aged 81 and older compared to respondents aged 60 to 70 (P = 0.01) and respondents aged 71 to 80. According to other variables, no significant difference was observed in the respondents’ answers. A significant difference was found in the level of quality of life according to the age of respondents, with significantly lower quality of life of respondents aged 81. There is also a significant difference according to the level of education, where respondents with a high level of education have a significantly higher quality of life. There is a significant moderate negative association between ageism and quality of life of respondents. Conclusion: Age discrimination, also known as ageism, refers to stereotyping and discriminating people based on their chronological age or perception that they are “old” or “older”. Ageism is strongly ingrained in society and the elderly are extremely discriminated in society and in their families.
