Sociodemographic, health, and psychobehavioral correlates of anticipated and actual relocation were examined in a geographically-defined rural elderly population (N = 3097). Intent to move was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms. Of those responding, 4.8 percent moved between the baseline and one-year follow-up interviews. Disproportionally high numbers of women, persons over 84 years of age, those who lived alone, persons with lower incomes, and the less educated made noninstitutional moves. Actual noninstitutional relocation was associated with poorer physical functional status, poorer self-perceived health status, higher levels of depressive symptomatology and anxiety, and poorer life satisfaction at baseline. Death of spouse, marriage of offspring, and having someone move in with the respondent were associated with noninstitutional relocation, but retirement was not. The outcomes are generally consistent with Litwak and Longino's (1987) developmental model of relocation among elderly persons.
在一个地理区域界定明确的农村老年人群体（N = 3097）中，研究了预期搬迁和实际搬迁与社会人口统计学、健康状况以及心理行为之间的相关性。搬迁意愿与较高水平的抑郁症状相关。在做出回应的人群中，4.8%的人在基线访谈和一年随访访谈期间进行了搬迁。女性、84岁以上的人、独居者、低收入者以及受教育程度较低者进行非机构性搬迁的人数比例过高。实际的非机构性搬迁与较差的身体功能状态、较差的自我感知健康状况、较高水平的抑郁症状和焦虑以及基线时较差的生活满意度相关。配偶死亡、子女结婚以及有他人搬来与受访者同住与非机构性搬迁相关，但退休则不然。这些结果总体上与利特瓦克和朗伊诺（1987年）的老年人搬迁发展模型一致。
