Highlight
•Elderly patients frequently face significant challenges and are often insufficiently involved in the medical decision-making process, highlighting the critical need to identify and understand the factors that influence their level of involvement.
•The study revealed that gender, caregiver relationships, and employment status after retirement significantly influence elderly patients' involvement in medical decision-making, with females, those with spousal or relative caregivers, and retirees showing higher involvement levels.
•It is crucial for healthcare professionals to identify and support elderly individuals with lower involvement levels, aiming to dismantle barriers and enhance patient autonomy and quality of life in medical decision-making processes.
