“…Cohort studies of household size during the 20th century show that older persons are increasingly likely to live alone, at least in developed countries (Glaser & Grundy, 1998; Glaser, Murphy, & Grundy, 1997; Kim & Rhee, 2000; Koh & Bell, 1987; Schoeni, 1998; Weinick, 1995). This change may reflect a primary shift in cultural values, that is, less value placed on communality and generational interdependence and more value placed on privacy and independence, according to Kramarow (1995).…”

The living arrangements of older persons play a key role in their use of formal and informal care, as well as in their health and well-being. Nurses engaged in primary care, discharge planning, and home care are strategically positioned to contribute to an optimal fit between older persons and their home environment. This article describes the demographic significance of late-life living arrangements and proposes a model for organizing the complex web of factors associated with household composition and late-life migration. The article then summarizes qualitative and quantitative evidence in support of the proposed model. Key areas for nursing research and strategies for applying available research are identified.

“…First, we lack population-based and racespecific norms on transitions to and from living alone in late life. Cross-sectional studies of household composition predominate (Choi 1991(Choi , 1999Coward, Cutler, and Schmidt 1989;Coward et al 1997;Kim and Rhee 2000;Miller et al 1996;Mui and Burnette 1994;Mutchler 1990;Peek et al 1997Peek et al , 2000Soldo et al 1990;Wallace et al 1998;Wolf and Soldo 1988). Even when longitudinal studies have been completed, a single follow-up contact (one to three years later) has been the norm (Speare et al 1991;Spitze et al 1992).…”

Objectives: Dramatic increases in living alone in late life have been associated with higher incomes and better health, obscuring the risk to subgroups living alone with diminished health and socioeconomic resources. This study describes race differences in the stability and life-course antecedents of living alone. Method: The prospective cohort study used data from the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly at Duke University ( n = 4,132) to estimate 10-yearprevalence, incidence, and predictors of living alone among Black and White elders. Results: New episodes of living alone were equally likely. Black elders’lower prevalence of living alone was a function of their 80 percent greater probability of a new coresident episode. Home ownership, residential tenure, and perceived good health were lower among Blacks living alone, compared to Whites, who had fewer living children. Stressful life events had similar effects on household size. Discussion: Race differences in late life household size were primarily dependent on decisions embedded in midlife.
