Description
Guo Yu, Zhenmei Zhang, and Quanbao Jiang study how caring for a spouse relates to memory and thinking in later life in China. Their 2023 paper uses four rounds of a large health survey from 2011 to 2018. The sample covers 3,137 couples aged 45 and older, and thinking skills were scored with a short test.
Couples tended to change together over the eight years, the authors find. Men started with higher scores but lost ground faster than women. Giving care was linked to slower loss for men, but not for women. Getting care was linked to faster loss for both, so help should reach both partners.
