Abstract This study investigates whether intergenerational relationships and social support improve the psychological well-being of Korean older adults. We examine whether intergenerational relationships and social support directly influence psychological well-being and the extent to which they mediate the distressing consequences of life events such as declining health and recent widowhood. Using longitudinal data from the 2006 to 2016 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, we explore depression trajectories among individuals who are 60 or older with at least one living adult child at baseline. Specifically, we converted data from 5,383 older adults into a person-period file with 24,726 observations over a ten-year period. Then we estimated linear growth curve models of depression trajectories separately for men and women using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results from the hierarchical linear models indicate that declining health and recent widowhood are positively related to depressive symptoms. Satisfactory intergenerational relationships and social support in the form of personal interactions and proximate living arrangements with adult children decrease depressive symptoms of older parents, especially among women. We conclude that the psychological benefits of intergenerational relationships and social support are contingent upon the vulnerability of older adults and discuss the implications for public policy.

Abstract Background and Objectives Fall incidents and associated medical costs are increasing among older adults. This study examined longitudinal associations between older adults’ falls status and depression at 2 time periods to further clarify bidirectional relationships. Methods We used the National Health and Aging Trends Study (NHATS) Waves 5 and 6 data and included sample persons (N = 6,299) who resided in the community or residential care facilities (not nursing homes) at both waves (T1 and T2). We employed multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the association of T2 falls status with T1 depressive symptoms, and negative binomial regression and logistic regression analyses to examine the association of T2 depressive symptoms with stability/change in T1-T2 falls status. Results Over the study period, 46% of older adults (18 million Medicare beneficiaries) who lived in the community or residential care facilities reported a fall. T1 depressive symptoms were significantly associated with greater odds of T2 multiple falls, and increasing falls or continuing incidents of multiple falls between T1 and T2 were significantly associated with higher depressive symptoms and probable major depression at T2. Discussion and Implications The significant bidirectional relationships between T1 depression and T2 multiple falls point to the importance of incorporating depression treatment in fall prevention programs for older adults at high risk of increasing/multiple falls.

ABSTRACTObjectives:The current study examined whether self-reported memory problems among cognitively intact older adults changed concurrently with, preceded, or followed depressive symptoms over time.Design:Data were collected annually via in-person comprehensive medical and neuropsychological examinations as part of the Einstein Aging Study.Setting:Community-dwelling older adults in an urban, multi-ethnic area of New York City were interviewed.Participants:The current study included a total of 1,162 older adults (Mage = 77.65, SD = 5.03, 63.39% female; 74.12% White). Data were utilized from up to 11 annual waves per participant.Measurements:Multilevel modeling tested concurrent and lagged associations between three types of memory self-report (frequency of memory problems, perceived one-year decline, and perceived ten-year decline) and depressive symptoms.Results:Results showed that self-reported frequency of memory problems covaried with depressive symptoms only in participants who were older at baseline. Changes in perceived one-year and ten-year memory decline were related to changes in depressive symptoms across all ages. Depressive symptoms increased the likelihood of perceived ten-year memory decline the next year; however, perceived ten-year memory decline did not predict future depressive symptoms. Additionally, no significant temporal relationship was observed between depressive symptoms and self-reported frequency of memory problems or perceived one-year memory decline.Conclusion:Our findings highlight the importance of testing the unique associations of different types of self-reported memory problems with depressive symptoms.

Abstract Using longitudinal data from the 2006 to 2018 Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging, this study explores depression trajectories among individuals who are 60 or older with at least one living adult child at baseline. We estimated linear growth curve models of depression trajectories separately for married, unmarried and widowed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Results indicate that declining health and recent widowhood are positively related to depressive symptoms. Satisfactory intergenerational relationships and social support in the form of caregiving decrease depressive symptoms of older parents, especially among the widowed. Having at least one son and a first-born daughter positively impact psychological well-being of older parents. A son was particularly important for those who are widowed. We conclude that the psychological benefits of intergenerational relationships and social support are contingent upon the vulnerability of Korean older adults and discuss the implications for public policy.
