Centenarians’ care arrangements: Insights from the Swiss Centenarian Study
Although centenarians represent a growing population, little is known about the support they rely on to address their specific needs. This study explores the types and combinations of care they receive, as well as the factors shaping these care arrangements. Based on data from the Swiss Centenarian Study ( N = 169; mean age = 101.8) and adopting an inductive approach, findings reveal diverse care arrangements, with both professional and non-profe…
Social Isolation and Loneliness among Near-Centenarians and Centenarians: Results from the Fordham Centenarian Study
Social isolation and loneliness have been recognized as problems older people face due to their adverse effects on health and mortality, but very few researchers have analyzed their co-occurrence, which might be particularly prevalent and critical among the very old.

The aim of this study is to investigate both conflict and emotional support in the family networks of older adults, taking the research beyond the level of intergenerational dyads. We used a subsample of 563 elders (aged 65 years and older) from the…
