Description
Yingzhi Xu tracks in 2023 how older adults' ties with family and friends change over time, and how those paths shape health. Support from others can lengthen life, while strain in close ties can harm it. Xu used four waves of a large United States aging study and grouped people by how their support and strain moved.
Most older adults kept high support and low strain across spouses, children, family, and friends. Spouses gave the most support but also the most strain, while friends ranked second for support and lowest for strain. People with steady high support and low strain had better mental health than other groups, a pattern clinics and families can use.
