Description
Farma Mangunsong and co-authors ask whether living with children or having enough money softens the blow when older Indonesians lose everyday abilities. Their study appeared in 2025. They followed 821 older adults across two waves of a national family survey. Losing the ability to shop, cook, or manage medicine predicted poorer wellbeing years later, scored from happiness, self-rated health, and depressive symptoms. Worsening limits hurt even more.
The team then tested whether household makeup or wealth blunted that link. The data let them separate the steady drag of disability from the protection money and family might give. The authors say policies for aging at home should treat daily functioning, not just disease, as the thing to defend, and should know which supports actually cushion it.
