            Anliegen:  Bei älteren jüdischen Menschen wurde der Einfluss von Diskriminierung und Religiosität
            auf psychische Gesundheit untersucht.
         
         
            Methodik:  Angst- und Depressionswerte (PHQ-4) wurden erhoben (n = 110) und Regressionsmodelle
            als statistische Analysen berechnet.
         
         
            Ergebnisse:  Ältere jüdische Einwanderer mit Diskriminierungserfahrungen zeigen höhere PHQ-4-Werte.
            Die Aufenthaltsdauer ist mit Angst und Religiosität mit Depression positiv assoziiert.
         
         
            Schlussfolgerung:  Der negative Einfluss von Diskriminierung wurde belegt und die Bedeutung der Integration
            jüdischer Einwanderer verdeutlicht.
         Abstract 
         
         
            Objective:  There is a lack of empirical studies focusing on mental health in Jews from former
            Soviet Union in Germany. The influence of discrimination and religiosity on symptoms
            of depression and anxiety was investigated.
         
         
            Methods:  110 elderly Jews living in Leipzig and Halle/Saale were asked to fill out a questionnaire
            including information about their immigration background (length of stay, age at migration,
            and country of origin), perceived discrimination, religiosity and level of integration.
            Depression and anxiety were assessed with PHQ-4. Linear regressions were applied as
            statistical tests.
         
         
            Results:  Participants who live alone and report higher level of perceived discrimination indicate
            higher anxiety and depression scores. Length of stay is positively associated with
            anxiety, as well as religiosity with symptoms of depression.
         
         
            Conclusions:  Some results are similar to the findings of others international studies, some other
            findings underline the specificity of the target group. The influence of discrimination
            has been demonstrated, implications for further investigation, especially with attention
            to the integration of older Jews from former Soviet Union in Germany are given.
