搬迁对老年人来说是一种创伤。关于最容易受到搬迁负面影响的个人的特征的文献很少。将关闭的养老院的居民与对照机构的居民进行比较，以确定搬迁是否对死亡率有显着影响，并确定死亡的危险因素。死亡率差异显著。一个考克斯回归模型表明，唯一的变量，以实现在预测死亡率的意义是搬迁本身。研究必须评估将减少非自愿搬迁的负面影响的战略。
Relocation is traumatic for older adults. There is a paucity of literature about the characteristics of individuals who are most susceptible to negative effects of relocation. Residents of a nursing home that closed were compared with residents of a control institution to determine whether relocation had a significant effect on mortality and to identify risk factors for death. The difference in mortality was significant. A Cox regression model demonstrated that the only variable to achieve significance in predicting mortality was the relocation itself. Research must evaluate strategies that will reduce the negative effects of involuntary relocation.
