The Future Availability of Family Caregivers
Discussions about future care needs of U.S. older adults have frequently called attention to ongoing changes in families as the harbinger of a looming family care shortfall. To explore this premise, we paired estimates from the National Health and Aging Trends Study with projections of kinship patterns by age, sex, race through 2040. We defined care gaps in two complementary ways: the number of older adults with care needs who have (1) no family …
Expectations for Families to Care for Older Adults in the United States
As the population ages and families become increasingly diverse, more work is needed to understand expectations for families to care for older adults. In this review, we discuss the theoretical frameworks and conceptualizations used to study care expectations, summarize overarching findings about theories of care expectations and corresponding measurement, and propose future directions for research. We examined studies published between January 2…
Residential Relocation of Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Objective Most older adults in the United States (U.S.) prefer to remain in their current housing as they age, but difficulty with mobility (e.g., walking) may make this more challenging. We estimated the association between difficulty with mobility (mobility) and residential relocation in the following year. Methods We included adults aged ≥65 participating in ≥2 rounds (years 2011–2019) of the National Health and Aging Trends Study. Mobility wa…
Behavioral Adaptation and Late-Life Disability
Objectives. To inform public health efforts to promote independent functioning among older adults, we have provided new national estimates of late-life disability that explicitly recognize behavioral adaptations. Methods. We analyzed the 2011 National Health and Aging Trends Study, a study of Medicare enrollees aged 65 years and older (n = 8077). For 7 mobility and self-care activities we identified 5 hierarchical stages—fully able, successful ac…
Why do lifespan variability trends for the young and old diverge? A perturbation analysis
BACKGROUND: Variation in lifespan has followed strikingly different trends for the young and old: while total lifespan variability has decreased as life expectancy at birth has risen, the variability conditional on survival to older ages has increased. These diverging trends reflect changes in the underlying demographic parameters determining age-specific mortality. OBJECTIVE: We ask why the variation in the ages at death after survival to adult …
Returns on Lifetime Investments in Children in Egypt
Parental expectations about the companionship and assistance they will receive in later life from their children are key considerations in family formation decisions. We explore patterns of parents’ investment and the support and contact they receive from adult children in Egypt, where fertility is falling and sources of support at all life stages are in flux. Using data from a survey of older adults in Ismailia governorate, we consider parents’ …
Gender and Material Transfers Between Older Parents and Children in Ismailia, Egypt
In Egypt, kin relations have been governed by a patriarchal contract, which defines expectations for intergenerational support along gendered lines. Social changes may be disrupting these customs and bringing attention to the ways gender may influence intergenerational support in rapidly changing contexts. Using data from 4,465 parent-child dyads in Ismailia, Egypt, we examined whether intergenerational material transfers favored women over men a…
The Health of Older Women After High Parity in Taft, Iran
High parity has been hypothesised to lead to a shorter and less healthy life. Using the 2007 Taft Ageing Health and Fertility Survey consisting of 696 women aged 50-79, this paper examines the extent to which women's health in middle and older ages is affected by their childbearing histories. The results show that high parity (> 8) is associated with a reduction of GP-rated health by 0.094 points on a scale from 1 to 10. These health reductions a…
Grandparental caregiving, income inequality and respiratory infections in elderly US individuals
BACKGROUND: Pneumonia and influenza (P&I) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the USA, particularly in elderly people. Recent research indicates that P&I may be linked to socioeconomic conditions associated with interactions of children with vulnerable elderly people that may proliferate the spread of disease. This study assessed the associations between four sociodemographic characteristics--median county income, Gini index, youth dep…
Propositional Density and Cognitive Function in Later Life
Propositional density scores in writing samples from early adulthood appear to predict AD in later life for men as well as women. Studies of cognition across the life course might beneficially incorporate propositional density as a potential marker of cognitive reserve
The Implications of Increased Survivorship for Mortality Variation in Aging Populations
The remarkable growth in life expectancy during the twentieth century inspired predictions of a future in which all people, not just a fortunate few, will live long lives ending at or near the maximum human life span. We show that increased longevity has been accompanied by less variation in ages at death, but survivors to the oldest ages have grown increasingly heterogeneous in their mortality risks. These trends are consistent across countries,…
Parity and parents' health in later life
We investigate the relationship between reproduction and functional health in later life among women and men in the resource-poor and gender-stratified setting of Ismailia governorate, Egypt. Analyses of survey data collected in 2003 show a statistically significant positive association between parity and difficulty with activities of daily living (ADLs), controlling for demographic and socio-economic factors and other co-morbid conditions. We al…
Fertility Decline, Family Structure, and Support for Older Persons in Latin America and Asia
The timing of the demographic transition has significant implications for kin availability and support
Reconsidering Substitution in Long-Term Care
These models raise the possibility that reductions of informal care hours may be accomplished with a combination of formal care and assistive devices, rather than from either alternative alone
Racial Differences in Formal Long-Term Care
Differential effects of teen childbearing across race groups indicate differential vulnerability to LTC needs among early parents
Differences in disability among older women and men in Egypt and Tunisia
Research on child survival and health has indicated disparities between boys and girls in selected Middle Eastern countries. Health disparities in later life are understudied in this region. In this article, we examine differences between women and men in later-life activity limitation in Egypt and Tunisia. Difficulty executing physical tasks is more common for women than for men in both study sites, although differences are smaller after adjustm…
Intergenerational transfers of resources between older persons and extended kin in Taiwan and the Philippines
This study examines the extent to which older generations actively exchange resources with extended kin in Taiwan and the Philippines. It is critical to understand the position of older generations in the family, because population ageing and declines in family size spur concerns about the tenacity of family support. This research builds upon previous studies that have predominantly focused on parent-child relationships alone or on support receiv…
Factors Influencing the Use of Mobility Technology in Community-Based Long-Term Care
Research on the dynamic acquisition process, with attention to age and trajectories of disability severity, is needed to fully understand the integration of technology and personal care
Depression Among Recipients of Informal Care
Perceived quality of informal care arrangements has a bearing on the psychological health of care recipients. Individuals in more reciprocal relationships and in relationships where they felt respected and valued were less likely to be depressed than their counterparts
Gender and use of health care among older adults in Egypt and Tunisia
The Power of Older Women and Men in Egyptian and Tunisian Families
We adapt resource theory to compare involvement in family decisions by older women and men in the more patriarchal setting of Egypt and the more egalitarian setting of Tunisia. Data from the World Health Organization Collaborative Study on Social and Health Aspects of Aging are analyzed. In Egypt, women participate less often than men in most decisions, whereas participation is more gender equitable in Tunisia. Increasing age and declining health…
Gender and Disability Among Older Adults in North and South India
Transfers from Older Parents to Their Adult Children in Taiwan and the Philippines
Incorporating Assistive Devices into Community-Based Long-Term Care
Technology has the potential to confer quality of life enhancements for older persons and their caregivers and cost savings for payers
Racial Differences in Skilled Nursing Care and Home Health Use
Contrary to expectations, Black elders are not counterbalancing their lower rate of SNF use with a higher rate of home health use. This suggests that there are differences in need, preference, or access that are yet to be identified. Future research should consider the relationship between family structure and informal caregiving, variation in physician referral patterns by race, and the availability of long-term care in traditionally African Ame…

The influence of personal care and assistive devices on the measurement of disability
The goal of all long-term care arrangements is to reduce the disabling effects of physical impairments and functional limitations. However, the means with which individuals cope with disability may not be equivalent and these differences may influence self-reports of disability in surveys. This paper examines assistive devices and personal care as factors in the measurement of disability among persons aged 70 and older in the community using the …
