本研究探讨了功能状态下降和社区为基础的住宅流动性的援助的可用性的影响。Wolinsky及其同事（1993）利用1984年、1986年和1988年老龄化纵向研究的数据，报告了健康需求增加导致的其他转变，即养老院安置和死亡。使用他们的功能健康量表和最近可用的统计技术，我们在健康行为概念框架内进行了两阶段分析。我们的结论是，老年人谁报告的几个认知局限性，在没有援助的家庭更有可能使住宅的变化。此外，我们确定，在这种情况下，认知和下半身退化的独立影响触发了基于社区的移动，即使在调整模型中功能健康和其他因素的基线水平的影响时。我们的分析扩展了Wolinsky及其同事的早期发现，将居住地变化作为老年健康下降的生态结果。
This study examined the effects of declining functional status and the availability of assistance on community-based residential mobility. Wolinsky and colleagues (1993), using data from the 1984, 1986, and 1988 waves of the Longitudinal Study on Aging, reported other transitions that result from increased health demand, namely those of nursing home placement and death. Using their functional health scales and recently available statistical techniques, we performed a two-stage analysis within a health behavior conceptual framework. We conclude that older adults who report several cognitive limitations in the absence of assistance in the home are more likely to make residential changes. Additionally, we determined that the independent effects of cognitive and lower body deterioration trigger, in this case, community-based moves even when adjusting for the effect of baseline levels of functional health and other factors in the model. Our analysis extends the earlier findings of Wolinsky and colleagues to encompass residential change as an ecological outcome of health decline in old age.
