AimThis study examined how the association between elderly adults 'family relationships and all-cause mortality different between different household context：living alone，living with only a spouse and living with adult children. MethodsWe carried out a discrete time event history analysis on all-cause mortality with measures of family relationships for each group of elderly adults.该研究分析了人波数据从日本大学日本老龄化纵向研究，包括11225连续波之间的纵向发作和555死亡报告total.ResultsThe的家庭关系措施显着相关的死亡率仅为老年人谁与儿童居住。虽然向儿童提供支助与死亡率呈负相关，但接受儿童的支助与死亡率呈正相关。孤独的感觉与老年人在代际同居安排的死亡率较高，但不为那些在其他living arrangements. ConclusionThe程度的老年人和成年子女之间的支持交换往往与老年人的死亡率只在家庭背景下，父母和子女住在一起。在其他类型的生活安排中（即独居和仅与配偶生活），家庭关系措施与死亡率之间的关联有限。Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019;中心点中心点：中心点中心点-中心点中心点。Geriatr Gerontol Int 2020; 20：156 - 160.
AimThis study examines how the association between older adults' family relationships and all-cause mortality differs among different household contexts: living alone, living with only a spouse and living with adult children.MethodsWe carried out a discrete-time event history analysis on all-cause mortality with measures of family relationships for each group of older adults. The study analyzed person-wave data from the Nihon University Japanese Longitudinal Study of Aging, including 11225 longitudinal episodes between consecutive waves and 555 deaths reported in total.ResultsThe family relationship measures were significantly associated with mortality only for older adults who resided with children. While providing support to children was negatively related to mortality, receiving support from children was positively associated with mortality. Feelings of loneliness were associated with higher mortality for older adults in intergenerational coresidence arrangements, but not for those in other living arrangements.ConclusionThe extent of support exchange between older adults and adult children tends to be associated with older adults' mortality only within the household context where parents and children live together. In other types of living arrangements (i.e. living alone and living with only a spouse), the association between family relationship measures and mortality is limited.
