Religious Comfort
Childhood religious attendance, being female, and certain age groups were modestly linked to higher religious and spiritual comfort in adulthood, though associations were rather weak and varied across countries. Other early-life predictors showed minimal association with adult R/S-CS in the meta-analysis, although noticeable cross-national variations were observed.
