Attitudes among ageing and health researchers compared to the attitudes of older adults. Bars to the right represent the researchers’ attitudes towards user involvement (N = 64, n varies due to internal missing). Bars to the left represent the older adults in the general population (N = 881, n varies due to internal missing). The Mann–Whitney U-test was used to examine the differences between groups. Two-sided P-values of < 0.05 served as the overall indicator of statistical significance and was adjusted with the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons to P < 0.007, marked with an asterisk (*)
