Health and Well-being Effects on Later-life Divorce and Subsequent Repartnering R15 Renewal Application Abstract Susan L. Brown and I-Fen Lin, MPIs The gray divorce rate, which is the rate of divorce among those aged 50 and older, doubled between 1990 and 2010, rising from 5 to 10 divorcing persons per 1,000 married persons. As of 2019, it persists at this high level. More than 1 in 3 people who divorced in 2019 were ages 50+ compared with less than 1 in 10 in 1990. Older adults are at risk for poor health after gray divorce. Depressive symptoms increase following divorce and remain elevated for four years, a protracted recuperation process that belies the two prevailing models of divorce adjustment. For older adults, adjustment does not occur after a brief crisis period, nor is it elusive because divorce is an enduring, chronic strain. Rather, gray divorce is followed by a slow but eventual recovery, which we term the convalescence model. The adjustment processes following gray divorce appear to be distinctive but remain poorly understood, underscoring the urgency of examining population heterogeneity in post-divorce adjustment among older adults. Guided by the stress process perspective, our central hypothesis is that women’s and men’s personal and social resources shape their divorce adjustment experience, determining whether they hew to the crisis period, convalescence, or chronic strain model. We use prospective, longitudinal data from the 1998-2020 Health and Retirement Study to address three aims. First, we investigate the patterns of post-divorce adjustment and how personal and social resources are associated with various adjustment trajectories. Second, we examine the linkages between post-divorce adjustment trajectories and repartnering. Third, we establish adjustment trajectories following repartnering and examine how post-divorce adjustment shapes post-repartnering health and well-being. The focus of this renewal application aligns with NIA’s strategic plan because it addresses the effects of interpersonal factors on aging, including the mechanisms through which these factors exert their effects, and informs ways to improve the health and well-being of adults as they age. This project fully incorporates two undergraduate and one graduate research assistant to expose students to all stages of the research process and enhance the BGSU research environment.

健康和福祉对晚年离婚和随后重新伴侣的影响 R15 续展申请摘要 Susan L. Brown 和 I-Fen Lin，MPI 灰色离婚率（即 50 岁及以上人群的离婚率）在 1990 年至 1990 年间翻了一番。 2010 年，每 1,000 名已婚人士中就有 5 名离婚者上升至 10 名。截至2019年，它仍保持在这一高水平。 2019 年，超过三分之一的离婚者年龄在 50 岁以上，而 1990 年这一比例不到十分之一。 灰色离婚后，成年人面临着健康状况不佳的风险。离婚后抑郁症状加重 四年来一直保持在高位，这是一个漫长的恢复过程，掩盖了两种流行的模式 离婚调整。对于老年人来说，短暂的危机期后不会发生调整，也不是难以捉摸 因为离婚是一种持久的、慢性的压力。相反，灰色离婚之后是缓慢但最终的离婚 恢复，我们称之为恢复期模型。灰色离婚后的调整过程似乎 是独特的，但仍然知之甚少，强调了研究人口异质性的紧迫性 老年人离婚后的调整。在压力过程视角的指导下，我们的中心 假设女性和男性的个人和社会资源影响他们的离婚调整 经验，决定他们是否遵循危机期、恢复期或慢性紧张模式。我们使用 1998-2020 年健康与退休研究的前瞻性纵向数据旨在实现三个目标。第一的， 我们调查离婚后调整的模式以及个人和社会资源如何关联 具有多种调整轨迹。其次，我们考察离婚后调整之间的联系。 轨迹和重新合作。第三，我们建立重组后的调整轨迹并检查 离婚后的调整如何塑造重新伴侣后的健康和福祉。本次更新的重点 该应用程序符合 NIA 的战略计划，因为它解决了人际因素对衰老的影响， 包括这些因素发挥作用的机制，并提供改进方法 成年人随着年龄增长的健康和福祉。该项目完全包含两名本科生和一名 研究生研究助理让学生了解研究过程的各个阶段并增强 BGSU 研究环境。
