Families, households and health in ageing populations: Projections and implications

Lead Research Organisation: University of Essex
Department Name: Inst for Social and Economic Research

Abstract

This project focusses on the family and household situation of older people and will contribute to understanding how intergenerational relationships operate in the face of demographic change and what are the implications for housing and care needs of changes in the family and household circumstances of older people. We will undertake analyses of rich longitudinal data, including later-life social and biological data, and retrospective life course information, to better understand the complex interlinkages between families, household, health and health inequality in older age groups. We will also investigate how the relationship between biological measures of health and difficulties in undertaking essential everyday activities may be influenced by provision of various types of help, including support from family, suitable housing and financial help. This will help with planning services that enable older people to carry on with every day activities even if they have various health problems. Building on this, we will provide forecasts of the older populations of the UK and China by family, household, health and disability status using innovatory household projection models. Such forecasts are essential for planning to meet the health, housing and care needs of ageing populations as, together with disability status, living arrangements and family support are major determinants of the use and costs of state provided or market sourced long-term care. Disabled elders living alone have much higher needs for paid services in the home than those who live with children and/or a spouse and older persons' social contacts and receipt of family help are associated with both number and gender of children. This China-UK biosocial collaborative project will thus contribute to building the knowledge base needed to address the health and social challenges facing ageing societies.

Planned Impact

Both the methodological and substantive results from this project will be of potential benefit and interest to a range of international, national and regional organisations and the research team will also benefit from insights from these potential users so have a strong commitment to full engagement. We will build on existing connections to engage with organisations and professionals with responsibilities for population and household projections and their policy implications; planners and providers of housing and care for older people. We will organise three specific events for different audiences in the UK, A Festival of Social Science event; a British Academy event and a more specialist day workshop for housing and care planners and providers. We will produce policy briefs and accessible articles for non-specialist audiences. We will also provide training courses and events linked to conferences attracting both researchers and policy makers. We will disseminate findings through newsletters, blogs and social media posts as well conference presentations and journal articles. We will participate fully in the activities of the proposed UK-China network of collaborators. Both the UK and the Chinese teams include specialist engagement and dissemination staff.

Description This project focussed on how the family, household and housing circumstances of older people are changing, including making projections about the future, and how these circumstances influence health and are themselves influenced by health. An important element was on intergenerational relationships and the implications of changes in families in households for the housing and care needs of the older population and the wellbeing of younger generations. The project has a comparative element involving collaboration with colleagues in China. We used a wide range of international and national data sources and a range of indicators of health. These included self-reported indicators from censuses and surveys, information on mortality (deaths) and information from physical measurements, such as grip strength and walking speed, and results from analysis of blood samples (biomarkers) collected in some samples. This is because it is known that people's personal characteristics and circumstances may influence how they report their health status and because analysis of biomarker data may shed light on biological mechanisms underlying changes in health. Our Chinese collaborators have particularly focused on these underlying mechanisms and on environmental influences on health such as greenspace. Below we highlight progress and main findings to date.
Family configurations, living arrangements, intergenerational exchanges and health
Our first objective was to contribute to greater understanding of associations between family resources and family exchanges with trajectories of physical and mental health using both subjective and observer measured indicators of health and function, including physiological indicators, such as allostatic load. This objective thus had both substantive and methodological aims and included research on how trends and differentials in mortality, especially at older ages, have changed in the recent past and how mortality, which is not only a key indicator of health but also the major determinant of future numbers of older people, and other indicators of health, including multimorbidity and DNA methylation age acceleration, vary by area level deprivation, social deprivation, and social mobility (Bao et al 2022; Knies & Kumari 2022; Murphy & Grundy 2022). Other methodological contributions have included collaborative work on the definition and measurement of allostatic load (McCrory et al 2023) and on methods for collecting blood samples data in observational studies (Kumari et al 2023; Benzeval et al 2023). Substantively focussed (although methodologically advanced) work undertaken to meet this objective included an investigation of how the mental health of young adults who return to the parental home changes using fixed-effects analysis of data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS). We found that, contrary to expectations, returning home was associated with some improvement in the mental health of young adults (J Wu and Grundy 2023). This paper attracted considerable attention and results have been presented at a range of conferences and meetings and in a podcast, as well as in the academic paper. One possible factor underlying the results, in addition to the benefits of parental support, might be the considerable stress, insecurity and poor conditions experienced by young people living independently in private rented accommodation which in another paper, Clair, Baker & Kumari (2023) found was associated with faster epigenetic ageing. In other work we examined associations between providing care for a parent and caregiver health in the UK using both subjective (self-reported) and observer measured indicators of health over a seven-year follow-up period (using UKHLS data) taking into account differentials in having a living parent. Results (Zueras and Grundy 2023) showed differential selection patterns into caregiving: mid-life adults with a living parent were healthier than those with no parent alive, but those who became caregivers had initially poorer health. Although intensive caregiving was associated with a deterioration in the mental health of caregivers, we found that the physical health of caregivers with a low level of education improved. The paper illustrates the importance of taking initial health into account when assessing the health impacts of caregiving and differential effects by socio-demographic characteristics. In other research using biomarker data we examined associations between partnership status and DNA methylation age acceleration across the adult lifespan (Wang et al 2023). Results showed slower epigenetic ageing for men and women in partnerships and faster epigenetic ageing for the divorced, separated, or widowed. Results for the never-married varied by age and sex. The importance of romantic partners and the role of interpersonal touch for older adults' neuroendocrine health was examined in a paper using US data (Navyte et al 2024). Building on previous work by one team member, we examined effects of transitions to grandparenthood on physical and mental health in China and England. Results (J Wu et al. 2023) indicated positive effects of a transition to grandparenthood on life satisfaction in both China and the UK, but some negative impacts on disability which may be related to physical challenges- or perceptions of these- associated with active grandparenthood. Additionally, we have prepared a chapter on intergenerational relations and health (Grundy and J Wu) for a forthcoming Handbook on Intergenerational Relations being edited by Marco Albertini of the University of Bologna (final revision in progress). Housing, housing tenure and health in the UK As mentioned in the section above, Clair et al (2023) used UKHLS data to investigate associations between housing circumstances and epigenetic ageing in all adults. Results showed that living in a privately rented home was associated with faster biological ageing, as was exposure to pollution and environmental problems. This paper attracted considerable media attention (74 news mentions) and was discussed in a workshop with policy makers and researchers. In other work we focused on mid-life and older people using data from the UK Annual Population Survey, the largest available survey providing consistent time series over extended time periods on housing and health, to analyse changes in the association between housing tenure and self-reported health over time. Results showed that to an increasing extent older people living in social housing had much worse health than either owner-occupiers or private renters which is most probably related to changes in allocation policies, as well as other factors. Differences were particularly marked in reported mental health conditions and in economic activity, with 28% of social renters ages 40-59 being economically inactive due to health problems, compared with 3% of owner-occupiers. This has considerable implications for the current concerns about rising rates of economic activity among older working age adults, as well as for public health and local authorities and other housing providers, as our projections of these trends included in the paper indicate that in the near future over half of people aged 40 and over living in social housing will have a long-term health problem or disability (Murphy & Grundy 2023). We have also examined housing tenure and differentials in health measured using biomarker data and found similar differentials (Murphy, paper in preparation using UKHLS, findings presented at international conferences). Other work in preparation (J Wu & Grundy) includes an investigation, based on analyses of data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), of how housing modifications may influence trajectories of disability in older people. Living arrangements, household transitions, health and mortality
This strand of the programme involved analyses of the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study (ONS LS) and companion Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS) which link census data to death records to examine factors associated with moving either to live with relatives or to care homes and subsequent mortality as an indicator of health. The comparative element was designed to elucidate the possible effect of policy differences as since 2002 there have been differences between England & Wales and Scotland in the funding of long-term care (notably free long-term personal care in Scotland). Work on this strand was particularly delayed due to various COVID related data access limitations but preliminary results have been presented at conferences and two papers are in preparation, one focussed on long term changes in household transitions in England & Wales and the other on an E&W Scotland comparison.
Household projections
We have been developing new methods of making household projections which take into account how families have changed (for example, half of births are now to cohabiting couples and rates of leaving the parental home by young adults have declined substantially). We have shared preliminary results with the Office for National Statistics population projections team as well as presenting these at national and international conferences. This work is highly complex as it involves drawing on a wide range of survey and other data for relevant inputs rather than the traditional vital statistics data that have been used in the past but are becoming less relevant, all of which need to be calibrated against each other. It is also very important especially as official household projections in the UK now include very limited parameterisation, for older people essentially simply disaggregated into two groups of living alone or with others. This project has been undertaken in collaboration with colleagues in China working on the same issues. We have been building on household projection methods and computer software developed by these colleagues in our projections work to improve standardisation and correction of input data and to develop Bayesian methods within a probabilistic projection framework, a paper on this topic is under review at present.
Environmental and genetic/epigenetic influences on health
Our Chinese collaborators have to date been focussing on effects of environmental issues (which are mediated by housing conditions) on health and longevity and also on genetic influences producing a number of high impact publications (Chen et al. 2022; Ji et al. 2022a, 2022b, 2022c; Liu et al 2021; Lv et al.2022; Miao et al. 2022; Zeng et al. 2024; Zhang H et al. 2021; Zhang X et al. 2023; Zhu et al. 2022).
Future plans
In May 2024 we are having a joint conference in Beijing where we will be able to work on putting together the elements of the research programme conducted in the UK and China. We are also producing a joint special issue of the China Population and Development Studies journal on Projections/analyses of Households and Living Arrangements, and Applications in Healthy Aging and Sustainable Development Studies.
Exploitation Route Our project is still underway however results to date indicate an important need for local authorities and social housing providers in the UK to plan for increases in the proportion of tenants with disabilities and for the implications of housing on health to be considered to a greater extent in policy making. New population projection methods we have used could be taken forward by the Office for National Statistics for quality assurance and to provide more detail on numbers by household and partnership status and the sensitivity of these values to the drivers of this process, fertility, mortality, migration and partnership formation and dissolution.

Description Our findings have been presented to ONS senior staff responsible for population projections with a view to our results and methodology being used as a calibration against official projections. We have held several well attended workshops with policy and practitioner audiences which we hope will feed through to practice and evaluation, although it is too early yet to assess this. We have input to development of other research calls and contributed to policy and practice debates and consultations. We have held numerous engagement events and media interactions to raise awareness of the importance of housing and households, and demographic change, on policy and practice. Again it is too early to assess the policy impact of this.
