“…To be specific, studies on social assimilation of migrant elderlies following their children reveal that, unlike the retirement migration in the west that results from rational-thinking and independent choice ( 30 , 31 ), the migrant elderlies following their children in China are most passive migrants. In most cases, they migrate for promoting family development and raising their grandchildren.…”

BackgroundDue to the rapid acceleration of social mobility and the shrinking size of families, China has begun to enter a new form of aging society, with an increasing number of migrant elderlies following their children. How to adapt and assimilate into the new living space profoundly affects those migrant elderlies' mental health. Drawing on the spatial framework proposed by Henry Lefebvre, this paper explores the factors affecting urban assimilation of migrant elderlies following their children in China, and puts forward corresponding strategies to promote the urban assimilation.MethodUsing semi-structured interviews and participatory observation, this study conducted a qualitative study among migrant elderlies following their children who lived in a University Community in Wuhan city, Hubei Province from May 2022 to July 2022. During the survey period, we participated in the gathering activities of the migrant elderly five times a week, and conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 migrant elderlies following their children.ResultsFirstly, this study reveals that family assimilation is the foundation of urban assimilation of migrant elderly following their children; Secondly, we could conclude that the urban life of the migrant elderlies are mostly community-based, so it is especially important for them to reconstruct close neighborhood relations and regain the humanity affection of the traditional acquaintance society. Lastly, the fundamental institutional barrier is a significant factor that influences the ability of these migrant elderlies to live a stable urban life. The Chinese government needs to promote a nationwide unified pension and health insurance system, so that the migrant elderlies can enjoy the same benefits as the local elderly residents in the “inflow” area.

“…Резюмируя вышеизложенное следует отметить, что выявленные особенности показателей СМАД у жителей Заполярья (более высокие среднесуточные, дневные и ночные уровни АД, повышение значений параметров индекса времени, наибольшее превышение нормативных величин скоростных показателей утренней динамики АД, а также наибольшие изменения суточного профиля АД за счет недостаточного снижения АД в ночные часы -«non-dipper») могут указывать на более тяжелое течение АГ в этой группе, что возможно связано с адаптацией к новым условиям проживания, обусловленной высоким уровнем невротизации и стресса в этот период [17,21,22]. В связи с чем целесообразно проводить в динамике исследования СМАД лицам, переехавшим из Заполярья, с целью персонифицированной оценки сердечно-сосудистого риска и решения вопроса о необходимости назначения и коррекции гипотензивной терапии.…”

Цель. Изучение особенностей показателей суточного мониторирования АД у лиц пожилого возраста с АГ, ранее проживавших в условиях Заполярья. Материалы и методы. В исследовании приняло участие 267 пациентов пришлого населения (европеоидов) обоего пола с АГ, прибывших из Заполярья на постоянное место жительства в Центральную Сибирь. Доля обследуемых лиц пожилого возраста составила 50,9%. Суточное мониторирование АГ проводили с использованием аппарата BPLab МнСДП-2 («Петр Телегин», Россия). Результаты. В ходе анализа полученных данных СМАД установлено, что для лиц, ранее проживавших в условиях Заполярья старших возрастных групп характерны более высокие среднесуточные, дневные и ночные уровни АД, повышение значений параметров индекса времени, наибольшее превышение нормативных величин скоростных показателей утренней динамики АД, а также наибольшие изменения суточного профиля АД за счет недостаточного снижения АД в ночные часы – «non-dipper». Заключение. Среди бывших жителей Заполярья пожилого возраста, больных АГ, отмечаются более высокие значения большинства показателей суточного мониторирования АД и высокая частота суточного профиля «non-dipper», в сравнении с аналогичной группой больных проживающих в г. Красноярске.

“…Since older mobile groups are often neglected, as they have mostly withdrawn from the formal labor market and are experiencing the last stage of their life course, they are often regarded as a group without special problems [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. The change of living environment and space leads to migrants’ maladjustment to the environment [ 7 ]; “adaptation” is a lifelong endeavor, and REMs are no exception. In addition, due to their inability to adapt to urban life, their worsened health or longing for the countryside lifestyle and their relatives and friends, rural elderly who migrated with their children to the cities choose to return to the countryside of their own accord, becoming actively empty-nest elderly.…”

As urbanization accelerates in China, more and more rural elders are moving to cities to live with their children. However, they face challenges in overcoming cultural, social, and economic disparities and maintaining health in urban life, and health is important human capital that may have a significant impact on the urban adaptation of rural elderly migrants (REMs). Based on the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), this paper constructs an indicator system to measure the level of urban adaptation of REMs. The health level and urban adaptation of REMs are studied in depth, and how to better help them adapt to urban life in order to provide a healthy living environment and a good lifestyle is explored. The empirical analysis finds the following: (1) good health helps REMs achieve a better level of urban adaptation. (2) REMs with good health status are more likely to go to community clubs for activities and do physical activities and thus improve their urban adaptation level. (3) There are significant differences in the effects of health status on urban adaptation among REMs with different characteristics. REMs with better health status in the central and western regions have significantly higher levels of urban adaptation than those in the eastern regions, and men have higher levels of urban adaptation than women. Therefore, the government should construct classification measures according to the differentiated characteristics of rural elderly migrants’ urban adaptation, and guide and support their stratified and orderly adaptation to urban society.
