Attitude toward own aging (ATOA) is a subjective perception of one's own aging experience that can be influenced by age, health problems, and ageist stereotypes. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases attributable largely to the growing population of older adults has raised concerns about how these illnesses may adversely affect older adults. Existing evidence indicates a negative association between the number of diseases and ATOA, and negative ATOA also impacts health and increases mortality rates, thereby creating a vicious cycle. However, research on how changes in the number and general severity of diseases may affect ATOA remains limited. This study explored the relationship between the number of diseases, change in disease number, and the severity of diseases and ATOA among individuals aged 65 and above (n = 2,324) using data from the Health and Retirement Study. A change model was used to examine the relationship between changes in disease count and ATOA within the same cohort for the 2012 and 2016 waves. To investigate whether disease severity affected ATOA, the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was utilized as a measure of disease burden, and multiple linear regression was used to examine the relationships between variables.There was a statistically significant negative association between the number of diseases and ATOA among participants, with a greater number of diseases leading to a more negative ATOA score. Additionally, the relationship between the change in disease count between 2012 and 2016 with ATOA was statistically significant. Furthermore, older adults with a higher CCI score tended to have more negative ATOA after a threshold. These findings suggest that number of diseases, change in disease number, and severity of diseases have a detrimental effect on ATOA. Future research should focus on longer-term follow-up investigations to enhance understanding of the complex relationship between health, disease burden, and ATOA. Also, exploring the relationship between the change in disease count and ATOA can enhance our understanding of ATOA-related research and unveil potential avenues for future investigations. Such investigations will provide valuable insights that will facilitate development of interventions to improve ATOA and overall well-being among older adults.
