Abstract
ABSTRACT This study investigates preference for ageing-in-place (AIP) among local older adults in a Chinese county with a large concentration of internal migrants. The current study was a secondary analysis of data from 755 community-dwelling elderly linked with county-level neighbourhood administrative data. We found that older adults living in neighbourhoods with a high concentration of migrants were 46% less likely to prefer AIP than those living in neighbourhoods with a low concentration of migrants. Such associations remained significant only among those less educated. Community-based programmes to encourage social contact among migrants and local older adults should be promoted.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
