从1993年到1995年的数据中的资产和健康动态之间的最老的老人被用来分析未婚老年父母和子女的特点与他们各自的自我报告的原因同居：总是住在一起，帮助孩子，帮助父母，或帮助两者。与一直生活在一起的父母相比，作为帮助接受者的父母年龄更大，有更多的健康问题，更有可能与年龄较大的已婚孩子一起生活。接受帮助的儿童更有可能是儿子而不是女儿，不太可能工作或为家庭做出经济贡献。互助组中的父母更有可能受过高等教育，离婚、分居或从未结婚，而不是丧偶，孩子们更有可能结婚。父母性别和种族/民族不是显著因素。
Data from the 1993 to 1995 waves of the Asset and Health Dynamics among the Oldest Old were used to analyze unmarried elderly parents' and children's characteristics associated with their respective self-reported reasons for coresidence: always lived together, to help the child, to help the parent, or to help both. As compared to the parents in the always-lived-together pairs, parents as the help receivers were older, had more health problems, and were more likely to have moved in with an older, married child. Children as the help recipients were more likely to be sons than daughters and less likely to work or make a financial contribution to the household. Parents in the mutual-help group were more likely to have higher education and to have been divorced, separated, or never married than to be widowed, and the children were more likely to be married. Parental gender and race/ethnicity were not significant factors.
