We examine the combined effects of living arrangements and outmigration of adult children on rural older adults' health profiles, measured by biomarker data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study 2011. We employ biomarker data and propensity score analysis which allows us to effectively deal with selection issues that are commonly observed in the literature. We show complex health implications of living arrangements and offspring migration. Living in a traditional multigenerational household has limited health benefits to older adults. However, older parents of migrants who live in a multigenerational household have better fitness in blood pressure. Their advantage over parents of migrants in other living arrangements suggests added benefits of the presence of grandchildren. This study bridges the living arrangement and migration literature on health by showing that health effects of adult children's migration on older adults are contingent upon their living arrangements.
我们考察了成年子女的居住安排和外出迁移对中国健康与养老追踪调查 2011 年生物标志物数据所衡量的农村老年人健康状况的综合影响。我们采用生物标志物数据和倾向评分分析，这使我们能够有效地解决文献中常见的选择问题。我们展示了居住安排和子女迁移对健康的复杂影响。居住在传统的多代家庭对老年人的健康益处有限。然而，居住在多代家庭中的移民子女的老年父母在血压方面更健康。与居住在其他居住安排中的移民父母相比，他们的优势表明孙辈的存在带来了额外的好处。本研究通过表明成年子女迁移对老年人健康的影响取决于他们的居住安排，弥合了居住安排和迁移对健康影响的文献空白。
