“…Results indicate that living close to children, rather than co-residing with them, might be the primary living arrangement for older Chinese people in the foreseeable future. [16] At the same time, as previous studies proved, [17] having a spouse is the “greatest guarantee of support in old age”. [18] Marriage can bring health benefits through providing emotional intimacy, economic benefits, social control of behavior and more social integration, [19] which will in turn influence the health outcome of the elderly.…”

To investigate the risk factors of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) in elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). In this study, 324 aged 70 years and over patients with ACI who were admitted to the inpatient department of TianJin First Hospital (China) from January 2012 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into NP group (80 patients) and non-NP group (244 patients) according to whether NP was occurred 48 hours after hospitalization. Baseline profiles and biochemical analyses were compared between 2 groups. Information regarding risk factors for NP in elderly patients with ACI was collected from all patients. Associations with NP and outcome were evaluated. Among the total patients, NP occurred in 80 (24.69%) patients. There were no statistically significant differences between risk of NP and sex, current drinking, diabetes mellitus, stroke history, and levels of serum UA, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, Glucose, chloride, potassium. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for NP were living alone (OR 4.723; CI 1.743∼12.802; P = .002), initial NIHSS score (OR 1.441; CI 1.191∼1.743; P = .000), NRS2002 score (OR 0.139; CI 0.087∼0.223; P = .000), BMI (OR 1.586; CI 1.353∼1.858; P = .000), a past pneumonia history (OR 0.073; CI 0.017∼0.321; P = .001), atrial fibrillation (AF) (OR 0.129; CI 0.033∼0.499; P = .003), CRP (OR 1.050; CI 1.017∼1.085; P = .003), BUN (OR 0.603; CI 0.448∼0.812; P = .001) and Cr (OR 1.036; CI 1.015∼1.057; P = .001). Level of albumin was an independent protective factor of NP in elderly patients with ACI (OR 0.865; CI 0.750∼0.999; P = .048). Furthermore, elderly patients with ACI who had NP had worse clinical outcomes both during hospitalization and after discharge ( P < .05). We identified significant risk factors for NP in elderly patients with ACI, including living alone, initial NIHSS score, malnutrition, a past pneumonia history, AF, CRP, and Renal function were associated with NP in elderly patients with ACI. The clinical course was worse and the duration of hospital stay was longer in NP patients than in non-NP patients.

“…It can be seen that living in the same household, receiving monetary support from children, and frequent visit from non-co-resident children positively contribute to the anticipated-received realization (Tables 4 and 5). The proportion of children living close to their elderly parents is approximate to those children who co-reside with elderly parents in this study sample, showing that living separately from elderly parents but in the same place has become common in China (Chen et al, 2017). This new living arrangement changes the traditional support provision practice and reduces children’s opportunity to provide support.…”

Realizing an Anticipation: Anticipated Support and Received Support from Children in China

It seems that elderly parents in China receive less support from their adult children than before. This study contributes to the existing literature by examining whether anticipated support from children can be realized in the future. Results from the 2013 and 2015 CHARLS find that although not all elderly parents can receive their anticipated support, the anticipation has a positive effect on their psychological well-being in terms of life satisfaction. Moreover, elderly parents who are co-resident with their children, receiving monetary support from children, and frequently meeting their non-co-resident children are more likely to realize their anticipation.

“…At the same time, disagreements exist about the value and cost of raising children and how much of that cost ought to be borne by the public sector (England & Folbre 1999, Folbre 1994). In many countries, including some high-income Asian countries, we increasingly see fewer multigenerational units being formed, as elders and their adult children can afford to live apart; however, that change is accompanied by an increase in interhousehold money transfers (Chen et al 2016, Kim & Choi 2011).…”

We review research on institutions of redistribution operating in high-income countries. Focusing on the nonelderly, we invoke the concept of the household income package, which includes income from labor, from related households, and from the state. Accordingly, we assess three institutional arenas: predistribution (rules and regulations that govern paid work), private redistribution (interhousehold transfers), and conventional public redistribution (operating via cash transfers and direct taxes). In each arena, we assess underlying policy logics, identify current policy controversies, summarize contemporary cross-national policy variation, and synthesize existing findings on policy effects. Our assessment of redistributional effects focuses on three core socioeconomic outcomes: low pay, child poverty, and income inequality. We close by assessing how the three institutional arenas perform collectively and by calling for further work on how these institutions change over time and how they affect subgroups differentially.
