For some people, religion is an essential part of their identity. Adults seem to become more religious with time and use it as a coping mechanism. Both the religion and ethnic groups are sources of support in an adult period of life. The communities based on religion and ethnicity are one of the mechanisms to handle the difficult periods of time. Research shows that older adults with a stronger attachment to their faith and spirituality possess a better state of health. In other words, these individuals do not rely on their families and friends to cope with various everyday problems.
