Predictors of Non-Local Moves Among Older Adults
Travel experience, when measured by regular vacationing and second homes, may increase community ties to a destination. The life-course model must be modified in its explanation of the importance of community and person ties, and of life transitions, as motivators of migration
Aging, Demography of
Demography is the scientific study of human populations. Its origins are as old as those of science. The demography of aging, on the other hand, did not begin to emerge as a distinct subfield until the second half of the twentieth century, when low fertility and mortality rates were creating dramatic shifts in the age structure of developed countries. In 1980, Jacob Siegel devoted his presidential address to the Population Association of America …

Putting a Human Face on Gerontological Research
s Dark Tower series, Roland, the Gunslinger, often warns individual members of his small circle of followers ''not to forget the face of their fathers.'' This is not bad advice to give gerontologists. It is easy for those of us who are engaged in gerontological research to lose sight of the humanity behind the numbers

The Timing of Change
Data from the Longitudinal Study on Aging (LSOA) were analyzed to describe the heterogeneity of functional status transitions over 2-years (single-state model), and to explore whether changes in status in the previous two to four year period enhance the prediction of a subsequent transition (two-state model). Multivariate logistic regression with a robust estimate of variance was used to analyze a 7-category nominal response of: functional status…
Women, Marital Status, and Symptoms of Depression in a Midlife National Sample
Previous studies of the correlates of depression among women have not generally been based on adequate midlife samples or precision in the specification of marital status categories. The present analysis is designed to address these deficiencies and is based on data from the Health and Retirement Survey-Wave 1 (i.e., respondents 51 to 61 years old). Results indicate that married women are less likely to report symptoms of depression than their un…
Benefits of Linkage to the National Death Index in the Longitudinal Study of Aging
To reduce the potential bias resulting from differential loss to follow-up in the Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA), information obtained from household contact methods was supplemented with information from the National Death Index (NDI). This article examines the degree of agreement in the vital status data from two sources (reinterview contacts and the NDI system) and evaluates the potential gains of using the NDI data as a supplement to defi…
Oldest Old Women
This paper analyzes the situation of women 85 and over using the United States Census public use sample for 1990 involving individual census records of 154,008 women and men It provides weighted population estimates. Data is presented on the oldest disability levels for men and women, the level of economic need, living arrangements, and access to a car. International comparisons from the Luxembourg Income study of elderly men and women's poverty …
Rural and Urban Differences in Mortality Among Americans 55 Years and Older
Previous research on rural and urban differences in risk of mortality has been inconclusive. This article used data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study to establish whether all‐cause mortality risk among persons 55 years and older varies by degree of urbanization, controlling for the potential sociodemographic confounders of age, gender, race/ethnicity, education, income, and marital status. Using the Cox Proportional Hazards Regressio…
Interpersonal and Economic Resources as Mediators of the Effects of Health Decline on the Geographic Mobility of the Elderly
Using data from the 1984 and 1986 waves of the Longitudinal Study of Aging produced by the National Center for Health Statistics, the authors examined the probability of geographic mobility that is associated with declining levels of instrumental disabilities, while controlling for instrumental interpersonal resources and economic resources. This research concerning health and geographic mobility supports the view that instrumental disabilities d…
Roots
The authors analyze the characteristics of older black migrants in the United States using data from the 1980 census public use microdata sample. Particular emphasis is placed on return migration to place of birth in the South. (ANNOTATION)
What is the Justification for a Qualitative Approach to Ageing Studies
In this essay, a theoretical approach that underpins qualitative research is discussed, thereby illustrating how this outlook differs philosophically from that which underlies quantitative investigations. The purpose of this essay is to promote a firm theoretical foundation for qualitative inquiry in ageing research, which appears to be neglected in many current studies. Key to the theoretical shift attendant to qualitative research is the idea t…

Health Care Utilization of Canadian Snowbirds
Older English-speaking Canadian seasonal migrants to Florida (N = 2046) were surveyed during the winter of 1986. They are users of two health care systems and are generally in good health. When they do need to use health care resources, however, they show a distinct preference for the Canadian system. There is a sensitivity to health concerns, especially among the older of the migrants. This sensitivity generates considerable precautionary behavi…

A Population Profile of Very Old Men and Women in the United States
This article presents the first population profile of men and women age 85 and over. It was developed with the 1980 census PUMS sample A, of which nearly 70% were women. Men were better off than women in both socioeconomic and relational characteristics in that they had higher personal incomes from nearly all sources and were far more likely to be married and living independently. They were not found in nursing homes in as great a proportion as w…
Migration Patterns Among the Elderly
The migration patterns of the elderly are placed in a developmental perspective. For those who migrate, three kinds of moves tend to occur among the aging in a modern society: one when they retire, a second when they experience moderate forms of disability, and a third when they have major forms of chronic disability. Litwak's formulations on the extended family provide the context for these patterns, whereas Longino provides much of the migratio…

Explicating Activity Theory
The principal intent of this paper is to replicate formally the work of Lemon, Bengtson, and Peterson (1972), the first researchers to carefully articulate a systematic statement of the activity theory of aging, but whose test of the theory resulted in disappointing ambiguous findings. Probability samples of three distinct types of retirement communities (N = 1209) provided far greater variation in background variables than existed in the origina…

The Aged Subculture Hypothesis
Arnold Rose predicted that concentrated interaction among older people would lead to participation in an aged subculture, the development of aging group consciousness and enhanced self-conception. Previous research has failed to focus directly on these issues and has been plagued by problems related to the self-selection and nonrepresentativeness of retirement community residents. Samples from two elderly central city HUD projects, three service-…

Draft Lottery Numbers and Student Opposition to War
In this panel study of draft eligible male undergraduates, the impact of the first draft lottery upon student political attitudes is examined. It was predicted that students who drew low numbers would have an increased opposition to war, the Vietnam war in particular. Evidence for this hypothesis, however, was found to be weak. Draft eligible students who drew low numbers did show an increase in the number favoring an immediate withdrawal from Vi…
