This part was a repetition of an earlier research directed towards a selection of the Swedish population done by Lars Tornstam (1981).

The same results were concluded in the research done in 1981. A part from that there were differences between the two rapport's in regards to which misconceptions that were most outstanding. The results also showed that immigrants with a Muslim background had a relative positive view on elders and old people's situation in Sweden. One saw it as important to take part of the old people's life experience and one had a great confidence for the treatment and care of elderly that we have today. (Less)
